6 Signs of Well Pump Failure
There are several signs that can indicate your well pump needs repair.
Here are six common indicators to watch out for:
- Low Water Pressure. If you notice a significant decrease in water pressure throughout your home, it could be a sign of a malfunctioning well pump. The pump may not be supplying water with sufficient force, indicating a problem that needs attention.
- No Water or Intermittent Water Supply. If you turn on your faucets or showers and there is no water or if the water supply is sporadic, it could be a sign of a faulty well pump. This could be caused by a variety of issues, such as a malfunctioning motor or a clogged impeller.
- Strange Noises. Unusual noises coming from the well pump can indicate a problem. If you hear grinding, rattling, or banging sounds, you might have a mechanical issue within the pump.
- Higher Energy Bills. A sudden increase in your electric bill without any other explanation could be attributed to a malfunctioning well pump. The pump may be working harder than necessary, leading to higher energy usage.
- Constantly Running Pump. If your well pump runs continuously, even when water isn't being used, it may indicate a problem. This could be due to a faulty pump pressure switch or a leaking drop line.
- Dirty or Cloudy Water. If the water from your well appears dirty, cloudy, or has a strange odor, it could be a sign of a pump issue. The pump may be pulling sediment or contaminants into the water supply, indicating a need for repair or maintenance.
