Without a functioning submersible Well Pump, your home’s water supply could be disrupted or even stopped. The pressure of the water coming from your taps might lessen, or the water might become dirtier over time, which are early indicators that something is wrong with the pump. However, there are other signs you should look out for if you think your Well Pump needs repairing.

Common Signs You Have A Well Pump Problem:

• No water
• Unusual sounds emanating from the faucet
• Muddy or discolored water
• Exorbitant electricity bills
• Low water pressure

Along with the pump, pressure switch, and well itself, the pressure tank is one of the main components of a Well System. Storing water from the well provides your home with an adequate supply at a consistent pressure.

There are several benefits to having a pressure tank:

-You have regulated water pressure
-Access to well water without needing to manually turn on the pump each time
-The ability to draw well water without the pump cycling on and off constantly, which reduces stress on the pump and prolongs its lifespan

There are three different types of pressure tanks:

• Air-over-water tanks have a major advantage in that there is no physical barrier between the water and air. The only drawback to this type of pressure tank is that over time, the air dissolves into the water so it needs more frequent monitoring.
• Diaphragm tanks. There is a rubber or vinyl diaphragm in these tanks that separate the water and air. When water enters the tank, it stretches the diaphragm upwards which compresses the air.
• Bladder tanks. These tanks work by using a balloon-like bladder that expands when water is pumped in, compressing the air trapped inside.

If you have a Well Pump, it’s important to know how to troubleshoot common issues. Otherwise, you could be left without water for an extended period of time. One of the most common problems is a loss of power. This can be caused by a tripped breaker or a blown fuse. If you suspect a problem with your Well Pump, you should first check the circuit breaker or fuse box. If the problem is not related to a loss of power, it could be an issue with the pressure switch. This switch controls the flow of electricity to the pump and can become damaged over time.
Another possibility is that the problem is with the pump itself.
If your Well Pump suddenly stops working, it’s important to call a professional as soon as possible.
