Installing a well pump is one of the most critical steps in building or upgrading a private water system. Whether you’re drilling a new well or replacing an old pump, this component is what delivers water from the ground into your home. When installed correctly, a quality pump will ensure reliable water flow for years to come.
There are a few key factors to consider when installing a well pump:
- Choose the Right Type. Not all well pumps are the same. Submersible pumps are typically used for deeper wells, as they operate while fully submerged and push water up through the pipe. Jet pumps, on the other hand, are better suited for shallow wells and are mounted above ground. Selecting the right type will ensure your system can meet the demands of your specific setup.
- Proper Sizing Matters. It’s not just about the depth of your well—household water usage, the number of bathrooms, appliances, and irrigation needs all factor into choosing the correct pump size. A pump that’s too small may struggle to maintain adequate water pressure, while one that’s too large can turn on and off too often, which may put unnecessary strain on the system and cause it to wear out faster.
- Professional Installation Is Key. Even the best pump can fail early if it’s installed improperly. Improper installation can lead to inefficiencies, system strain, and costly breakdowns in the future. Installing a well pump is a job best left to the professionals.
