Q – Why does water not come from my well anymore?
A – There may be several reasons why water is not delivered from a well. First check your breaker box to see if the breaker is tripped. You should call Quality Water Systems to check the pump and pump control equipment, which may have failed. The pump installer can also check the water level in the well. Overuse of the aquifer may have dropped the groundwater level below the depth of your well.
Q – Why does my well seem to pump less water than it used to?
A – Over time minerals or bacteria can constrict your water well screen or your water system pump or piping. Overuse or seasonal lack of recharge of the aquifer can also cause the groundwater level to drop and thus decrease the amount of water that can enter the well. We can clean your well screen and check your pump, piping and water level. We can also measure the yield of your well and compare it to the yield when the well was originally drilled.
Q – Why does my pump seem to run every time I turn on the tap?
A – The pressure in your water system is regulated by a pressure tank so that the pump does not have to be run every time there is demand for water. The tank has an air bladder in it that can rupture. Call us at 1-800-332-9462 to check the pressure tank.
