Can you shock a well yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can shock a well yourself, but it can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. We recommend calling a pro, but if you decide to do it yourself, make sure to follow proper safety precautions. This means <b>wearing the correct safety gear, </b>such as rubber gloves, goggles, and boots. You should also <b>mix the chlorine solution in an open area</b> with plenty of ventilation. Also, make sure <b>not to drink or use the water for a few days afterward, </b>until you’ve flushed the system and retested the water.</p></div>

Q: Why would a well pump fail?

• <div><p>Age is certainly a factor in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/signs-you-may-need-new-well-pump.htm">well pump failure</a>. The older your pump, the more likely it is to fail. </p><p>Beyond age, other factors can cause your well pump to fail, too. Things like poor water quality can cause sediment buildup in your pump. Without proper cleaning, your pump can seize up and fail. Having a dry well for too long can also cause your pump to fail, as it keeps working even though there's no water for it to pull. </p></div>

Q: Why is it important to get air out of my well’s water lines?

• <div><p>Although air in your water lines won&rsquo;t affect the overall quality of your water, it will lead to problems with your well water system if not addressed. Over time, too much air in your water lines can create blockages in your pipes, cause insufficient water flow to your taps and appliances, loosen pipes, and potentially damage important components of your well including your well pump and pressure tank. </p></div>

Q: Can I oversize a well pressure tank?

• <div><p>Oversizing a well pressure tank won&rsquo;t hurt your well system. Larger tanks result in longer and slower pump cycles and consequently fewer startups and longer runtimes, which means the tank may have better longevity. The only drawback to oversizing is efficiency since larger tanks tend to cost more and take up more space.</p></div>

Q: Is well pump repair covered under homeowner’s insurance?

• <div><p>Well pump repair might be covered by your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-know-your-homeowners-insurance.htm">homeowner&rsquo;s insurance</a>, but it&rsquo;s typically not. If the damage results from a major storm in your area, flooding, a fire, or some other natural catastrophe, then you should consider filing a claim for the damage. However, if the issue is the result of an aging well pump, your policy will very likely not cover the repair cost. In either case, you should hire a well pump professional inspect your well pump, and then use that information to decide whether or not you should file a claim.</p></div>

My experience with Manning replacing a failed pool pump had been a comedy of errors and resulted in hundreds of dollars of additional expense to resolve. First, Manning replaced the pool pump and installed a Pentair unit, which was completely incompatible with the rest of my system/automation...
