Well Water Pump FAQs

Got a question about water pumps? We’re here to help!

  • How much does a home water pump cost?

    The cost of a home water pump can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type and size of the pump, the brand, and the location where you purchase it.


    As a rough estimate, well pumps and submersible pumps begin at around $1,500. However, this is just an estimate, and costs may vary depending on horsepower and depth of setting.


    It's also important to keep in mind that installation costs are typically not included in the price of the pump, so you should factor in the cost of installation if you're not comfortable doing it yourself. Additionally, ongoing maintenance and repair costs should also be taken into consideration when budgeting for a home water pump.

  • How long do submersible well pumps last?

    The lifespan of a submersible well pump can vary widely depending on several factors, such as the quality of the pump, the frequency and duration of use, the depth and size of the well, and the type of water being pumped.


    Generally speaking, submersible well pumps can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or more, with proper maintenance and usage. However, some well pumps may fail prematurely due to factors such as poor installation, water quality issues, or improper usage.


    Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and inspection, can help extend the life of your submersible well pump. It's also important to use the correct pump size and type for your well, and to avoid running the pump dry or allowing it to overheat.


    If you suspect that your submersible well pump may be malfunctioning or nearing the end of its lifespan, it's best to contact a professional well pump technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

  • Do you have to prime a submersible pump?

    No, you do not need to prime a submersible pump.


    Submersible pumps are designed to operate when completely submerged in water, and they use the surrounding water to create the necessary pressure to move water from the well or other water source. This means that they do not require priming like other types of pumps, which need to be filled with water before use to create suction.


    However, it's important to ensure that the pump is fully submerged in water before turning it on, as running the pump dry can cause damage to the motor or other components. Additionally, proper installation and sizing of the pump are critical to ensuring efficient and reliable operation. It's always best to consult with a professional well pump technician if you have any questions or concerns about your submersible pump or well system.

  • What size submersible pump do I need?

    Determining the size of the submersible pump you need depends on several factors, such as the depth and diameter of your well, the water demand of your household or irrigation system, and the type of water you are pumping.


    To determine the size of the submersible pump you need, you should consider the following:


    1. Well depth: The deeper your well, the more powerful the pump you will need to lift water from the bottom of the well.
    2. Well diameter: The diameter of your well casing will also affect the size of the pump you need. If the well is narrow, you will need a smaller pump to fit.
    3. Water demand: Consider the water demand of your household or irrigation system. The larger the demand, the more powerful the pump you will need.
    4. Water type: The type of water you are pumping can also affect the size of the pump you need. For example, if the water is very thick or has a lot of sediment, you may need a larger pump to handle the additional load.

    It's always best to consult with a professional well pump technician or a pump sizing chart to ensure that you select the correct size submersible pump for your specific needs. They can help you determine the correct pump size based on your well and water system's characteristics, ensuring that you get optimal performance and efficiency from your pump.

  • Why is my water pressure low?

    There are several possible reasons why your water pressure may be low. Here are some of the most common causes:


    1. Clogged pipes: Over time, sediment, mineral buildup, or debris can accumulate inside your pipes, restricting the flow of water and causing low pressure.
    2. Faulty pressure regulator: Your water system may have a pressure regulator that controls the water pressure throughout your home. If the regulator is malfunctioning, it may be limiting the water pressure.
    3. Leaks: A leak in your plumbing system can reduce the water pressure by diverting water away from your fixtures and appliances.
    4. Closed valves: If a valve that controls the water flow to a specific fixture or appliance is partially or completely closed, it can cause low water pressure.
    5. Water main break or maintenance: If there is a break in the water main or maintenance being conducted in your area, it can reduce the water pressure to your home temporarily.
    6. Small or undersized pipes: If your pipes are too small or undersized for your water demand, they may not be able to deliver sufficient water pressure.

    To determine the cause of low water pressure in your home, you may need to consult with a plumber or a water pressure specialist who can diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate solution.
