Well Pump Maintenance & Repair

Common Well Pump Issues We Repair

Loss Of Water Pressure

A drop in water pressure is a one of the most common signs that there may be something wrong with your well pump. This may be caused by a malfunctioning pressure switch, clogged pipes, or a failing pump. Our experienced team can quickly identify the source of the sisue and restore your home’s water pressure.

Pump Won’t Start

If your well pump isn’t turning on, there may be an electrical issue, a malfunctioning pressure switch, or a problem with the pump itself. Our technicians can diagnose the problem and recommend the best solution, whether that’s a simple repair or a pump replacement.

Water Pump Cycles On And Off Frequently

If you are noticing that your pump turns on and off repeatedly, this could be caused by an issue with the pressure switch, a waterlogged pressure tank, or an air leak in the system. Our professional inspection services can help determine the root cause of the issue, so we can swiftly make any necessary repairs

Low Water Flow Or No Water

If you’re not getting any water or have very low flow, a common cause of this may be the pump or pressure tank. Contact us today so we can help perform thorough troubleshooting services.

Benefits Of Well Pump Maintenance & Repair

Not only is a broken water well pump incredibly frustrating to deal with, but it can also be a major inconvenience for everyone in the household. If a well pump system is properly maintained throughout its lifetime, the likelihood of failure is immensely reduced, and homeowners can enjoy fresh, consistent water for years to come. The cost of a well pump replacement is also going to heavily outweigh the cost of regular service and maintenance. By investing the time now in well pump maintenance, a well water pump can stay productive, pushing clean water throughout the home.

Signs Of Well Pump Failure

A failing well pump will likely be spotted quickly by the home’s residents. Even if the signs are only moderate, routine well pump maintenance can help prevent minor issues blossoming into full blown problems. Common signs of a well pump in need of repair include:

• Pump failing to start
• Scalding water temperatures
• Rapid changes in water pressure
• Strange or loud noises coming from the water tank
• Little to no water being pumped throughout the home

In some cases, the well pump itself may not actually be the issue. In the event that a well installation is needed, North Florida Water Systems Inc has you covered.

Well Pump Repair Vs. Replacement

In some cases, conducting well pump repairs isn’t enough to restore your water well to proper working condition. There may be times when a replacement may be the more cost-effective option in the long run. Some signs that it might be time for a new well pump include the following.

• Your pump is over 15 years old and shows frequent signs of failure
• Repairs are becoming more frequent and more expensive
• You’re noticing a significant increase in your utility bill
• Your home is constantly losing water pressure or struggling to keep up with your household’s needs

During our inspection, we will help you evaluate the condition of your well pump to help determine whether a replacement or a repair is the best option, offering expert advice to help you make an informed decision.

Preventive Maintenance For Well Pumps

Preventive maintenance for your well pump involves regularly inspecting and servicing your well pump to help avoid potential problems before they become major, more expensive repairs. In addition, this helps ensure your well pump is operating efficiently and helps reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns, minimizes repair costs, and extends the equipment’s overall lifespan. The frequency of maintenance depends on several factors, including the pump’s age, model, usage levels, and water source quality. However, we recommend scheduling an annual maintenance check, which includes inspecting the pump, pressure tank, and related components.

Why Choose Our Pump Repair Company

In keeping with our mission to provide customers with the most reliable well pump repair services in Florida, we use “two wire” pumps. At the heart of every well is its pump and its motor, and there are essentially two types of motors offered throughout the industry. A three-wire motor has a control box on top of the well. This control box is equipped with a relay and capacitors, and typically sits 50 feet to 150 feet from the motor. The two-wire motor, however, has no control box. Not only does this mean there are fewer parts susceptible to breaking down, but it also means severe weather or natural disasters are less likely to impact the motor’s functionality. Two-wire motors come equipped with a lightning arrester in front of its components, so if a surge comes into the motor, the arrester opens up — protecting the system from the damaging effects of lightning — and closes once the motor has cooled. Additionally, a two-wire motor has an auto reverse mechanism, allowing the motor to automatically reverse if the pump happens to bind up.

Two-wire motors were built long before we ever entered into the well drilling business but have time and time again proven to be incredibly reliable and able to withstand the test of time. As a testament to the survivability of these machines, a 35-year-old pump and motor were pulled out of a well for the first time since they were installed. While the pump itself had some wear, the two wire motor ran like new. Since we would only ever install two-wire Franklin Electric motors in our own homes, we choose to provide our customers with the same care and professionalism that we’d give to friends and family.
