Q: What pressure should I set my well pump pressure switch to?

• <div><p>Most well pump pressure switches have a factory setting of 30 to 50 PSI. There&rsquo;s some flexibility with this if you&rsquo;d like a lower or higher water pressure, but remember that it should sit 2 to 3 PSI above your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-pressure-should-my-well-tank-be.htm">well tank&rsquo;s general pressure</a> setting.</p><p>The inside of your pressure switch cover will usually indicate minimum and maximum settings&mdash;going below and above the numbers might damage your well pump.</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: How do I seal a leaking well?

• <div><p>A leaking well pipe is quite different from if the well itself is leaking. To seal a leaking well, pour a cement mixture or bentonite into the space between the well casing and the borehole wall. The heavier cement collects at the bottom to form a solid seal, pushing lighter materials like mud and fluids up toward the surface. Professional well installation companies have the equipment to do this properly. </p></div>

Q: What are signs I need a well inspection?

• <div><p>If you notice any changes to the water coming from your well, consider that a sign to get a well inspection. For example, if the water is foul-smelling, bad-tasting, cloudy, or discolored, you should call a pro. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to schedule an inspection if you observe a loss of water pressure, broken equipment, loss of well capacity, or other unusual signs.</p><p></p></div>

Q: How long can you run a well pump?

• <div><p>If your well pump is running continuously (meaning without turning off or stopping), it's a sign that your well pump is starting to break down. The length of time your well pump should cycle is dependent on many factors, like the tank size, pressure setting, and even the amount of water in your well. Generally, your well pump should cycle, or go from running to not running every few minutes. </p></div>

Great experience! They did a furnace and heat pump install on my house. They gave me a fair bid and did amazing work. They were accessible with questions. Everything went quick. I highly recommend them.

Fast, courteous, great sense of humor. We had a washer that stopped running. Within two seconds of listening to our washer, he said the pump was probably clogged/blocked up with a baby sock. Less than 10 minutes later, a baby sock was removed and we had a working washer again.
