Q: Can a bigger well pump increase water pressure?

• <div><p>Yes, a bigger well pump can increase water pressure&mdash;up to a point. If you currently have a well pump of 8 GPM, you might notice a pressure boost when you go up to 10 GPM. However, overshooting significantly (going up to 15 GPM for an 8 GPM home) can strain your well system and result in things like burst pipes that can decrease your water pressure and make for costly repairs.</p></div>

Q: How do I clean the water pump filter?

• <div><p>If you have a self-cleaning washing machine but you&rsquo;re still seeing lint, your water pump filter might be clogged. To clean it, you should unscrew the drain hose, then remove the water pump filter. From there, you can inspect it and clean it with warm water before replacing it. Check to be sure your washing machine is functioning by running a short cycle. </p></div>

Q: Do services include leak detection?

• <div><p>Yes, most professional repairs include checking for leaks, sealing connections, and ensuring proper drainage.</p></div>

Q: How far from the bottom of the well should a submersible pump be?

• <div><p>A submersible pump should be at least 10 feet from the bottom of the well to minimize the risk of the pump drawing debris into the well water. Submersible pumps work best for wells that are 25 feet deep or less. If you have a deeper well, choose a jet pump instead of a submersible model.</p></div>
