Well pump replacement FAQs

Replacing a well pump is a significant investment in maintaining your water supply, and we know you may have questions about the process, costs, and common issues. Below, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand your well system and make informed decisions.

How do I prime a well pump?

Priming a well pump involves filling the pump casing and suction pipe with water to remove air. Start by shutting off the power, opening the priming plug, and pouring water into the pump until it overflows. Replace the plug, turn the power back on, and monitor for proper water flow. If your pump won’t stay primed, it may need professional servicing.

How much is a well pump?

The cost of a well pump can vary widely depending on the type and capacity. Submersible pumps typically range from $300 to $1,500, while jet pumps cost between $150 and $800. Contact us for personalized recommendations based on your system’s needs.

How long does a well pump last?

On average, a well pump lasts 8 to 15 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and water quality. Regular inspections and servicing can help extend its lifespan.

How much does it cost to replace a well pump?

The cost to replace a well pump ranges from $1,000 to $3,000 or more, including labor and materials. Factors such as pump type, depth, and additional repairs can affect the final price. Contact us for a detailed estimate.

How do I adjust the pressure switch for a well pump?

To adjust the pressure switch, first turn off the power to the pump. Open the switch cover and use a wrench to turn the adjustment nut. Turning the nut clockwise increases pressure, while counterclockwise decreases it. Always test the system after adjustments to ensure it operates correctly. If you’re unsure, it’s best to call a professional.

How do I test a well pump?

Testing a well pump involves checking water pressure, flow rate, and electrical components. Use a pressure gauge to measure system pressure and a multimeter to test voltage and amperage. Low readings could indicate a problem with the pump or its components.

How can I tell if my well pump is bad?

Signs of a failing well pump include no water flow, inconsistent water pressure, unusual noises, or high energy bills. If you notice these issues, contact a professional to diagnose and resolve the problem before it worsens.

How can I tell if my well is dry or if the pump is bad?

A dry well often presents with sputtering water, air bubbles, or no water despite the pump running. A failing pump may show signs like unusual noises, inconsistent pressure, or overheating. A professional assessment can help determine whether the issue lies with the well or the pump.
