well pump

I bought a house this year that has a 30ft well and 1hp Gould J10s pump with a 20ga pressure tank for the house. I need to add an irrigation system, and wanted to use the same well. I got a quote from a local company who said my well tested at 100 gpm, and recommended that I replace the pump...

Hello all! Recently bought a house that was built in the 80’s and is on a well. When water is used in the house the pipe coming in from the well vibrates and makes a loud noise droning noise - unfortunately it runs through a cupboard under the stairs and reverberates throughout the house...

Hello, I just recently had the water well pump replaced for a new one. Now im having the issue that while taking a shower, the water begins to lower in pressure and then shuts off entirely. When this happened, I went outside to check the pump and the pressure gauge was reading zero and the pump...

I am trying to diagnose why my dug well won't pressure up. Here are the symptoms. There is sufficient water (about 2/3 up the submersible casing). When I turn on the breaker, water comes out for about 1 minute or so. Never get full pressure. Stops within a minute, maybe a few seconds. Switch...

I moved into my property in September 2019. The house is outside of the city limits and relies on a 400-foot low yield well. A Littlefuse PumpSaver 233P-1.5 is installed to avoid dry-run. In Summer 2020, the well does not work. The well professionals came and replaced everything, including a new...

Hi all, i'm new here and this is my first time owning a house with a well. Is the gauge on the pressure tank supposed to go in between 45 and 70 psi back and forth as water is being used? (video: ) Is this called short cycling? There is also clicking sounds and vibrations when it hits 70psi...

I just replaced the shallow well pump with same Horse Power as the old one. For some reason the new pump is not able to build pressure over 10psi. It primes good. I've closed the valve to the irrigation system to isolate a possible line break issue but pressure does not go over 10psi and pumps...

We need a Christmas miracle. I could really use some recommendations on troubleshooting my well pump in the Texas Hill Country (Boerne, TX). Tomorrow is Christmas, and our water cistern is almost out of water. Here is an overview of my setup: - Approx. 1100 foot water well (I live on a hill...

Hi guys, I'm having problems with my well pump. The pressure is very high! The pressure gauge goes up to 100 and the needle is all the way up. At first I tried to clean the contacts on the pressure switch but was still having problems, so last night I bought a new pressure switch (40-60psi, same...

Hi, I am trying to size a well pump for my rural property and having trouble with the overwhelming number of options. The property will have 3 one bed/bath single level homes plus an RV hookup. All homes will be within ~150' of the pumphouse where our pressure tank and filtration system will be...

Hi I have a well system. Well pump is a submersible 4" 7GPM 3/4HP pump installed about 150-160 ft deep in a 200 foot deep well. The pump was replaced in 2012/2013 timeframe. The well is about 100 feet away from the pressure tank in the basement and is connected via a 1.5" pvc pipe buried...

Need to replace my pressure tank. Going with a larger Pentair WM-14WB (47 gal) fiberglass tank and a conventional tee at the bottom with integral pressure gauge & cut-off switch. Originally wanted to go with the Flex-Lite FL17, but no stock anywhere, unless you want to pay double the price...

Last Sunday morning my kids realized that our water was off. We have had problems with out well pump previously, so I just assumed that was our problem. We have a 250' deep well that uses black flexible water line, so I decided that I would just pull the pump myself. Instead of checking the...

Grundfos SQ Flex Submersible Pump – 6SQF-3 installed 300' deep with schedule 120 pipe and wired for 240; no controller as pump has internal. Worked for a few days; abruptly quit. Power going down the well, no draw, no instances of a breaker tripping. -Schedule 120 pipe; did not use a torque...

We recently purchased a new home, with it came a brand new well. It was drilled July 9, we just moved in September 1, so it had only been actively being used since then. First time home owners here, and we don’t know anything about this. We’ve got black/dark grey sediment coming up in all our...

I’m going to be replacing my submersible well pump and I’m wondering if there’s a way to tell the horsepower rating without pulling pump. There are no tags or markings of well depth or pump size. But I believe it to be 200’ or less it’s connected to 1”poly pipe 2 wire system

Hi guys, first time poster, long time observer/learner. Bought my first home, gutted the basement and now I’m redoing the plumbing.. it was a mess! Question: I have a 1” galvanized pipe coming in from the submersible well pump... I need to extend the pipe 8 feet to where my new pressure tank...

Hello Jason here, I’m a homeowner looking to replace 1/2 horsepower submersible pump at 150’ well depth seems to be original to 1985 or around the period as the pump and pressure switch are solely two wires one black one red as far down in well as can see. Newer 2 wire pump wiring seems to have...
