When we’re diagnosing problems with or installing any kind of pump, submersible or jet pumps, the first thing to do is make sure that there’s power flowing from the breaker box to the pressure tank.
After that, the next step is to make sure you have 240 volts flowing from he breaker.
Once power is established, we find where the well head is sticking out of the ground. Sometimes, the power doesn’t ever make it to the well head, which will easily tell you why the pump isn’t working.
Power is often the source of problems. Sometimes, a well pump simply breaks, and in those cases, replacement is the only option.
The very first indicator that something is wrong is water problems. If you’re in the shower, for example, and you’re water keeps popping off and on, that’s a blaring sign that the pressure switch could be going bad or your well pump is failing.
Another warning sign is when the pressure tank keeps cycling and never turns off.
There isn’t much that you can do as far as preventative maintenance for a well pump. The most you can do is do regular checks to make sure everything is working properly, and replace any components that break, rather than let problems increase.
The most common cause of pump failure is age, which isn’t something anyone can prevent.
