Pro TIP
After a pump job, DO NOT run the well water through your water treatment equipment. The water is too dirty. Run the water from your garden hose (20 minutes on, 20 minutes off) until your water runs clean and clear. Otherwise, you will damage your water treatment equipment, costing hundreds of dollars in repair work.
Submersible Well Pump vs. Jet Pump
A submersible well pump is installed IN your well.
The average CT homeowner will install a 5 or 7 GPM (gallon per minute) pump that is either ½ hp, ¾ hp, or 1 hp (horsepower). We always use a 7 GPM pump unless otherwise indicated. Most people prefer a submersible pump over a jet well pump because it provides better water pressure, and you never need to prime it.
A submersible pump typically lasts 10-15 years and costs between $1,500 and $2,100 to replace it.
Shallow and Deep Well Jet Pumps are NOT installed in your well but are located above ground, usually in your basement or garage.
A Shallow Well Jet Pump – is for wells that are 25 feet or LESS.
A Deep Well Jet Pump - is for wells that are deeper than 25 feet.
For our CT service area – the horsepower is typically ½ hp, ¾ hp or 1 hp.
We proudly use Goulds Jet Pumps.
No Water DIY? Try These 4 Things First
1. Check your breaker. Flip it on, off, and back on. It should be labeled “well,” “well pump,” or “pump.”
If this works but it trips again, there is a pump problem.
2. Check the gauge on your pressure tank (well tank). If it reads zero, you are out of water, have a low flow switch, or your pump or gauge is broken.
3. If you have a low-flow switch (the grey box located at your pressure tank), lift the lever UP to the START position and hold for 10 seconds until the pressure gauge reads 40. Then, don’t use water for 2-3 hours until the well recovers and fills back up. Note: Not all boxes have a lever.
4. High water use? Did you fill your pool? Leave the outside spigot on? Did you water your gardens for more than 30 minutes? Did you pressure wash your home? Are we in a drought?
- If you answered yes to any of these questions, stop using water. Wait 2-3 hours to see if your well recovers and fills back up. Then try running your water again.
