If you have a JET-PUMP: there are six basic reasons for this condition. (1) the impellers are worn. (2) a vaccumn or pressure leak (3) your sand point is plugged (4) jet or venturi is plugged (5) faulty pressure switch (6) the water table has dropped If you have a SUBMERSIBLE
PUMP: (1) the pump is worn (2) the water table has dropped (3)
there is a leak (4) intake is plugged (5) faulty pressure switch Our database of well depths and water tables is rather extensive. We are tied into many State and Geological agencies. We should have a good handle on an approximate depth, if not the actual depth. Other information is also at hand.
With just a little help from you, we can usually identify what kind of equipment you have, the make and model and approximate manufacturing date. There are a variety of hidden and scripted date codes. Just call and we will tell you where to look. A well cap is an approved manufactured cover of cast steel, aluminum, or PVC. It is fastened on to the well casing with bolts and a rubber compression "O" ring and gasket. Both are incorporated to make a water tight and vermin proof seal. Well caps are also vented with a brass or stainless mesh. A female threaded port is used to tie in and insert electrical cable. Well caps must be State approved.

WONDERFUL!
All water systems require
a pressure tank and size does make a difference!
It doesn't hurt your pump to run as much as it does to cycle or turn on and off rapidly. Short cycling or a water-logged tank causes the pump to turn on and off excessively. Lets face it, there is so many on and offs a pump can take. A water-logged tank is the single most common reason for pump failure. If your concerned we can coach you over the phone on how to balance, calibrate, and adjust your system to maximize efficiency and performance. A pumps life is gauged on the amount of times it goes on and off. If you can reduce the on and offs or (cycles), you will increase the life of your pump! To accomplish this you must have a correct tank size. A good rule of thumb and all manufacturers recommend that a pump should run at least (1) one minute from cut in to cut out. For pumps over ¾ horsepower,a (2) two minutes is recommended. To properly size a tank you must, you must know the rate in gallons per minute that your pump will pump? Most residential pumps are rated at 10 GPM (gallons per minute). Need help? Advice is free.
Great….. Now we have to prove ourselves! All mass merchandisers have purchase power far beyond the means of any local service and repair firm. Truck loads of economy and below trade standard pumps, parts, tanks, and fittings are available without explanation as fast as your Visa card can process. All they have to do is sell it. They don't have to install, adjust, calibrate, or balance anything! They are not called upon to design a system that fits your needs or calculate performance curves that provide efficient and cost effective operation. The only guaranty you have is your receipt, the labors on you! Planning on taking it back? Guess again. If your pump even appears used or previously installed, it's yours to keep. No returns on used merchandise. Most likely your helped by a young well intended youth having not the slightest idea of anything but cost and bigger must be better. You are well off taking the money you might have saved and buying a proven nationally know product, by a nationally know manufacturer, with a real guaranty by a contractor who is certified and licensed, who is proud to look you straight in the eye at the coffee shop or grocery store. It doesn't cost… it pays!
Yes, and quite easily too! Well pits have been the single most cause and source of contaminated water supplies. Extending your well casing out of the well pit, free of surface water and contained stagnate water will reduce the risk of contaminated water. Moving the tank and controls out of the well pit to a controlled dry environment will prolong the life of the system as well as provide easy service and repair.
We would like to say that everything could be solved and answered with e-mail and the Internet. However, sometimes we need to communicate over the phone or face to face. If you have a question, and need a real answer, call it's free and it's right! "WHEN
AVERAGE....... JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH"
