Common questions
What are the warning signs of a failing well pump?
Pressure that fades or surges, a pump that clicks on and off or never stops, air or sand at the taps, a breaker that trips, and a power bill that jumps for no reason.
What does a well pump repair cost?
It depends on the cause. A pressure switch or a capacitor is a small job. A new submersible pump in a deep well is a big one. You get a price after diagnosis, before work.
How long should a well pump last?
Often 8 to 15 years. Lightning, sand and short cycling from a bad tank can end it much sooner.
Why does my pump turn on and off every few seconds?
That's short cycling. The usual cause is a pressure tank that has lost its air charge. Fix it early, because it wears the pump out.
Can a storm kill my well pump?
Yes. Lightning and power surges are one of the most common reasons pumps, switches and control boxes fail in Central Florida.
Submersible or jet pump: what's the difference?
A submersible pump sits down in the well and pushes water up, so it suits deeper wells. A jet pump sits above ground and pulls water up, so it suits shallow wells, including most irrigation wells.
My sprinkler pump runs but nothing comes out. Why?
It has probably lost prime. Look for an air leak on the suction side or a failed foot valve or check valve.
My well water smells like rotten eggs. Is the pump broken?
Usually not. That smell is hydrogen sulfide, common in Florida groundwater. It is a water quality issue, though it is worth mentioning when you call.
Should I have my well water tested?
The Florida Department of Health says testing a private household well is the owner's responsibility and recommends regular testing, and testing after flooding. See the https://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/private-well-testing/ private well testing page.
Do you drill new wells?
No. The focus is pumps, tanks, switches and controls on existing wells.
