How Long Should a Well Pump Last?

Ruan Marinho • Jan 26, 2021

When it comes to your well water supply systems, you should always keep an eye out for signs of wear and tear. If you’re struggling with your pump, the problem may not have anything to do with your water pump, as well systems can be complicated. At Mosman Well Works, our staff works to ensure our clients have functioning, clean wells and water systems at all times.

When Is the Best Time for A Well Pump Replacement?

Determining if it’s time to replace or repair your pump will often depend on costs and extent of damages. If you are unsure whether you need a simple repair or a full replacement, here are the main factors to consider:

1. Age

Your well pump is built to serve you efficiently from anything between 8 to 15 years, under normal use.

Depending on the appliance model and type, this time frame is subject to change under various factors which contribute to the sudden damage to your well pump system.

A practical rule of thumb is to replace your equipment by age. If your well pump is nearing the end of its lifespan, it’s best to consider a replacement.

2. Constant Need for Repairs

If your appliance constantly needs repairs to function, it is time to replace it. A few repairs and maintenance here and there are cheaper than a full replacement but if the repairs are back to back, save your long term coins and replace it.

3. Type of Well Pump

You get what you pay for. If you go for cheap quality, anticipate more issues. If you settle for a relatively pricey model that is sturdy and efficient, you will save your money in the long run.

Other Reasons

Sudden well pump damage is a common complaint which in most cases can be avoided. The main reasons for sudden damages will often include the pump’s duty cycle (overuse), low water table, motor power, power failure, and water sediment levels.

Conclusion

Never underestimate the problems of a damaged well pump. If your water supply is no longer powerful enough, your utility bills abnormally high, or if the quality of your water is questionable, contact Mosman Well Works for well pump service. Our 5-Star technicians will get to the bottom of the issue and provide practical solutions that suit your needs.
