Common questions
How can I tell my well pump is failing?
Low or surging pressure, a pump that short cycles or never stops, air or sand in the water, a tripping breaker, or a power bill that jumps for no reason.
What does well pump repair cost?
It depends on what failed. Switches and capacitors are small jobs. A new submersible pump in a deep well is a big one. You get a price after diagnosis and before work.
How long do well pumps last?
Often 8 to 15 years. Lightning, sand and short cycling from a bad tank shorten that.
What is short cycling?
The pump switching on and off every few seconds. It's usually a pressure tank that has lost its air charge, and it wears the pump out.
Can lightning damage my well pump?
Yes. Lightning and surges are among the most common reasons pumps, switches and control boxes fail suddenly in Florida.
Submersible or jet pump: what's the difference?
A submersible sits down in the well and pushes water up, for deeper wells. A jet pump sits above ground and pulls water up, for shallow wells and most sprinkler wells.
Why are my walls and sidewalk turning orange?
Iron in well water, usually from the sprinklers. It isn't a pump fault, but an iron filter or treatment can reduce it.
Why does my water smell like rotten eggs?
Hydrogen sulfide, which is common in Florida well water. It's a water quality issue, not usually a pump fault, but mention it when you call.
Should I test my well water?
The Florida Department of Health recommends private well owners test regularly, and after any flooding. The health department in Indian River County can help with testing.
Do you drill new wells?
No. We stick to pumps, tanks and switches on existing wells.
