If you have a well, chances are you want to take good care of your water well pump so it can have a long, productive lifespan. Your water well pump is extremely important and useful. It plays an important role in your day-to-day life by moving water from the underground to be used above ground for drinking, irrigation, gardening, and other everyday uses. Because your water well pump is so important, you will want to take good care of it. To do this you will need to know the basics of how it works and what to do if something goes wrong. Here are a few basic tips for troubleshooting and repairing your water well pump. While it is important to know some basic causes of problems with your water well pump, you should avoid making repairs yourself unless you know exactly what to do. Instead, you should contact a professional to help you know exactly what is wrong and to fix it for you. If you do know how to solve the problem and you have the skills and equipment to dos, it is a better idea to save money and to do the repairs on your water well pump yourself. If you are having problems with your well or water well pump, the first thing to do is to check the circuit breaker and fuse to see if they are working properly or not. If the circuit breaker has been tripped, you should flip the switch. If the pump has stopped working and switching the breaker does not help, there may be a problem with the motor. In this case, you will need to contact a professional for help in repairing the motor. It may even need to be replaced. If the motor does not stop running and is always pumping water, the problem may have been caused by one of several things. One problem may be poor adjustment of of the pressure. This problem is the most common issue that causes the motor to work continuously. You need to clean the switch and make sure that the pressure settings are correct. Another cause of the problem may be that the intake screen in the submersible water well pump is clogged or blocked. In this case, pull the pump out of the water to check and see if this is the case. You will then need to clean out the pump. If there is tripped overload, you will need to check the water well pump control box. If there is incorrect transfer on the terminals, you will need to replace the box. When the control box overheats it can cause tripped overload. Make sure that the control box is installed properly so that you can avoid this problem. Tripped overload can also occur when the wire is not properly attached onto the water well pump. Make sure the wiring is correct to avoid this problem. You will also want to regularly check your pump for any leak, or to see if the water in your well or holding container is too low. If you know how to take care of your water well pump and well system, you will be able to care for your well system.
