1. Schedule Routine Well Pump Maintenance

Having your well pump serviced regularly by our team of skilled professionals is one of the most effective ways to maintain a consistent and clean water supply. We offer comprehensive well pump maintenance services designed to help catch issues early, prevent breakdowns, and ensure your water meets health and safety standards. During a maintenance visit, one of our experienced water well technicians will:

Clean and inspect your well pump
Lubricate moving parts
Ensure the pressure tank and switch are working properly
Test the quality of your water to ensure it’s safe
Handle any necessary pump repairs or replacements

Don’t neglect the power of a routine tune-up. Scheduling regular maintenance not only extends the life of your system but also helps to safeguard your household’s water supply!

2. Safeguard The Area Around Your Well

Whatever happens to the ground above your well can impact the water beneath it. Because of this, well owners strive to maintain a clean area of at least 50 feet around their wellhead to prevent contaminants from seeping into their water supply. Most crucially, you should always avoid storing or spraying any chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, or cleaning products near your well. Additionally, it’s recommended that well owners ensure the ground surrounding their wellhead slopes away from the well to prevent runoff from pooling around it. Finally, try to keep debris, leaves, vegetation, and landscaping clear as well. Staying proactive about safeguarding the area around your well helps drastically reduce the odds of contamination.

3. Inspect Your Well Pump Regularly

In addition to scheduling routine well maintenance, we recommend that well owners periodically inspect their well pump for any apparent issues. For example, if your pump is short-cycling, making unusual noises, or providing inconsistent water flow, it likely indicates a problem with your system. By regularly inspecting your pump and watching for common well problems, you make it easy to get issues addressed before they worsen. At the first sign of trouble, you can call North Florida Water Systems Inc for professional well pump repair services!

4. Monitor Your Water For Sudden Changes

Finally, you should always pay close attention to your water’s quality and monitor for concerning changes. Sudden differences in your water’s smell, taste, and appearance could be a sign of potential contamination. If you notice any concerning changes in your household’s water quality, stop using it and call our team for professional water well testing and treatment services. We can assess the problem, provide any necessary fixes, and restore safe drinking water to your home.
