Get matched with top well and pump technicians in Cokeville, WY

Both can deliver clean water to your taps, but well water and city water carry a few differences. City water is delivered and connected through a main water line, and it travels through a network of underground private and public pipes to service various buildings and structures once it’s been treated.

Well water is derived from dug or drilled wells that source groundwater from the water table. City water is often more expensive than well water, but it eliminates the need for you to test and treat your own well water.

Here are some signs of a bad well pump that a pro should look at: 

• If your well pump isn’t pumping water, you could have a leak or malfunctioning pump on your hands. 

• If your water pump runs nonstop, there might be a leak or problem with the pressure tank, which can cause the pump to fail. 

• Low water pressure can happen because of your pressure tank, low-water levels, or a wrong-sized pump. 

• Dirt or sediment in your water can be a problem with a powerful pump, damaged pump filter, or the pump’s location.

Yes, you can adjust your well pump pressure relatively easily by yourself. You’ll need to remove the cover from your pressure switch and adjust a nut that controls cut-in pressure. Learn more about how to adjust a well pump pressure switch with a step-by-step guide to setting your water pressure.

Sputtering water and a constant fluctuation of water pressure from your household faucets and fixtures are the main red flags that something bad is brewing with your well pump. The fix could be as simple as restarting the power or priming the pump, especially if the trouble is occurring after a power outage. However, if troubleshooting the power and pressure of your pump does not get things up and running again, it might be time to replace the pump.
