The Environmental Impact of Water Wells: Sustainable Practices

As concerns over global climate change grow, many communities and households are looking for new ways to practice sustainability. Fortunately, with our Florida well drilling services, property owners can take their first steps toward eco-friendly living.

In Florida, the majority of water wells draw their supply from groundwater. Groundwater is naturally filtered through sediment and minerals in the ground. Because of this natural filtration process, a well-maintained water well can help homeowners lower their reliance on municipally-run water treatment plants. As a result, the usage of harmful chemicals (such as chlorine and fluoride) will be drastically reduced.

At North Florida Water Systems Inc, our experienced well contractors are committed to preserving water resources. This mission has been a cornerstone of our company from the beginning. Because of this, our entire team is well-versed in environmental regulations. This knowledge allows us to keep your new well in compliance with local restrictions.

Conserve Energy

A heavy dependance on inefficient irrigation systems can lead to excessive energy consumption. The choice to pursue well drilling helps families avoid this issue. Because water wells are separate from municipal water sources, a well-functioning water well can reduce electricity bills and entirely eliminate a household’s water bills!

These environmental results are even more significant when routine preventative maintenance is practiced. Regular maintenance appointments can keep your water well running efficiently all year-round. Homeowners can then reap the benefits of reduced water waste, conserved energy, and improved well performance!

Select The Appropriate Pump

The ideal well pump for your household depends on the size of your property, the depth of your well, and your family’s typical water consumption. The purpose of a well pump is to transport your water supply from the bottom of the well and into a storage tank for later use.

Selecting the best well pump for your household can greatly reduce your carbon footprint. If you select a pump that is too large for your well, you run the risk of energy inefficiency and poor performance. The oversized pump might also place unnecessary strain on your system. However, a pump that is too small cannot draw up the water needed to accommodate your home. As such, your household water flow and pressure will suffer.

There are three common types of well pumps: centrifugal pumps, submersible pumps, and jet pumps. Centrifugal pumps are typically the most affordable option; however, they are only meant for shallow wells. Deep water wells require a much more powerful suction than a centrifugal pump can provide.

Jet pumps are the most powerful option. Jet pumps deliver water extremely quickly, and are suited for both shallow and deep water wells.

Lastly, submersible pumps are designed to accommodate most wells. While centrifugal pumps are housed next to a well, submersible pumps are made to be submerged underwater and are long-lasting. However, repairs can be difficult and are often rather expensive.
