How long do well pumps last?
Well pumps typically have a lifespan of six to ten years or longer, with their durability dependent on factors such as frequency of use, the quality of your water, and how well they've been maintained.Why does my well pump run constantly?
A continuously running pump is usually caused by one of several issues: worn impellers, a leak in your vacuum or pressure system, a clogged jet or screen, issues with the pressure switch, or a water table that has dropped below normal levels.Why is my water pressure low?
Low water pressure often indicates one of three common problems: pipes that have become clogged, a pump that's beginning to fail, or a pressure switch that isn't functioning correctly.What should I do if I have no water?
When you experience a water outage, first verify your circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If power isn't the issue, the problem could be a pump failure, broken pipe, or a malfunctioning pressure switch.Should I hear my pump running?
