Well Pump Services for Your Residential Property
Pump systems work to provide ample water supply without the need for a municipal water source.
This is made possible by well pumps that draw water from beneath the ground where the water table is located.
Most well pumps today are electrical and use suction to draw water through pipes. These well pumps fall into one of the following categories:
Jet Pumps
Below the surface, shallow wells are tapped with jet pumps to transport water to your residential property. This system relies on the use of air pressure to move the water. Jet pumps use electric motors and centrifugal pumps for optimal efficiency.
Submersible Pumps
Submersible Pumps include a water pump, a pump motor, and an internal check valve. They work by pushing water to the surface. There are many different pumps to choose from within these two categories. You should select the right pump that is ideal for your needs. Pump selection depends on the depth of the water as well as the diameter of the well casing.
How to Determine the Right Pump Size for Your Home
Once we determine the correct well pump for your home, we then help you in selecting the correct size and output. This is based on the water needs of your household.
Factors to pay attention to include family size and the major use of the water. Our experts at Tri-County Pumps will ensure that your property is set up with the most cost-effective and efficient system.
Well Pump Maintenance and Repairs
We provide routine well pump repair and maintenance. If you notice a difference in your well water pressure, taste, color, or smell, we will evaluate the issue and discuss with you the best plan of action to fix it.
As a company that truly values our customers, we have compiled a list of easy maintenance tips for homeowners to help keep their systems in top shape. These tips include the following:
- Check your system’s well cap to ensure it is fastened tightly and in good condition. We recommend a cap with an air-tight seal to keep bugs, debris, and foreign particles out. You also should consider disinfecting your well pump system once a year for proper upkeep.
- Practice caution when working, driving, or doing landscape work around the well site. In addition, keep the area around the well clear of debris, leaves, or snow.
- It is crucial to allow the well casing to stand at least a foot above the ground. Also, ensure proper landscaping a slope away from the well to promote suitable drainage.
- Never submerge a garden hose nozzle in buckets or containers when mixing chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizer.
- Pay close attention to your water pressure. If your residential well water tap pulsates or has spurts of air, your well system will likely need to be serviced.
