How to Maintain Your Water Well Pump

If you have a water well on your property, it is your responsibility to take care of it. The water well pump is what brings the water from the depths of the well into your home. If the pump needs  to be repaired, you will be out of water until the issue is fixed. Water well pump repair services can potentially be costly too. The average plumber likely cannot repair water well pumps. So, here are some tips to help you avoid these costly and inconvenient problems:

• Anti-Corrosion Products: Water causes corrosion. There is no avoiding that, but you can delay it. Regularly use anti-corrosion products on your water well pump. It is a cheap but effective way to slow down corrosion.

• Pump Inspections: Every three years you should have a professional well service come inspect your pump. A professional knows signs of potential issues and can help catch problems before they become serious issues.

• Clean Cooling Fans: Overheating is common, but a serious problem for your pump's motor. Overheating can seriously damage it to the point where you need a new one. Be sure to regularly clear out debris, spider webs, and anything that may be in and around your cooling fans in order to avoid the need for professional water well pump repair services.
