Question 1

Why is my well pump short cycling?

Accepted Answer

Short cycling usually happens when the pressure tank or bladder tank is failing, waterlogged, or improperly sized. It can also be caused by a bad pressure switch or a failing pump.

Question 2

Why do I have dirty or cloudy water?

Accepted Answer

Dirty water is often caused by a malfunctioning well system stirring up sediment, not a filtration issue. A failing pump, pressure switch, or pressure tank can cause the system to run incorrectly and pull dirt into the water.

Question 3

Why do I suddenly have no water?

Accepted Answer

No water can be caused by a failed pump, a bad pressure switch, electrical issues, or a dry well. We test the system and check the actual water level before replacing anything.

Question 4

How do you check the water level in my well?

Accepted Answer

We use a sonic well sounder that sends a burst of air into the well and measures the exact distance to the water. It also shows how much water is entering and leaving the well.

Question 5

Do you work on jet pumps?

Accepted Answer

We try to avoid jet pumps because they are outdated and unreliable. When possible, we convert jet pump systems to modern submersible pumps for better performance and fewer problems.

Question 6

Can you fix a low-producing well?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install equipment that automatically shuts off the pump when the water level is low and restarts it after recovery. This protects the pump and extends the life of the system.
