Is Your Well System Ready for the Back-to-School Season?

Back-to-school season means early mornings, packed schedules, sports, homework, laundry, dinner and the list goes on…

The last thing your family needs in the middle of all that is to wake up to no water or low water pressure.

As routines pick back up, it’s a good time to pay a little attention to the system working behind the scenes. Routine well system maintenance can help identify potential problems before they turn into an inconvenient and costly emergency.

Why Check Your Well System Before a Busy Season?

Your well system supplies the water you depend on every day, from morning showers and brushing teeth to laundry, cooking and cleaning.

When something isn’t working properly, the signs may start small. Maybe the water pressure doesn’t feel quite right. Maybe you’ve noticed a leak. Or maybe everything seems fine, but it’s been a while since anyone took a look at your pump and pressure tank.

County Pump & Supply services the components throughout a well pump and tank system, including pumps, tanks, wires and controls. Routine maintenance is also part of our Well and Pump Services.

Signs Your Well System May Need Attention

Some water problems are impossible to miss. Others can be easier to put off until they get worse.

Pay attention if you notice:

• Low or changing water pressure
• No water
• Leaks around your water system
• Changes in how your pump or pressure tank is operating
• A well system that hasn’t been inspected in a while

Low pressure, no water and leaks are all issues County Pump regularly diagnoses and services.

Even if you haven’t noticed an obvious problem, preventative maintenance can give you a better idea of how your system is performing before your household is dealing with an unexpected interruption.

What Happens During a Well System Inspection?

A well system maintenance visit is an opportunity to look for signs of trouble throughout the pump and tank system.

County Pump’s service plan includes checking pump condition, inspecting the pressure tank for failure or corrosion, checking the tank charge and inspecting fittings associated with the water pump system.

That means problems may be spotted while they are still manageable rather than after you suddenly find yourself without water.

Can Well System Maintenance Help Prevent Pump Problems?

Regular inspections can help identify conditions that may contribute to premature pump or tank failure.

County Pump recommends routine maintenance as a way to keep systems operating properly and reduce the chances of a major unexpected failure.

Of course, maintenance can’t predict every problem. But knowing the condition of your pump, pressure tank and related components gives you a much better opportunity to address concerns before they disrupt your day.

My Water Pressure Has Changed. Should I Have It Checked?

Yes! A noticeable change in water pressure is worth paying attention to.

Low water pressure can be related to different parts of a well system, which is why diagnosing the system as a whole is important. County Pump works with pumps, pressure tanks, booster systems and constant pressure systems to help homeowners get the proper water volume and pressure for their homes.

If your pressure suddenly feels different than it normally does, you don’t have to wait until the water stops completely to have it checked.
