Signs Your Well Pump Is Failing
Low pressure, sputtering faucets, short cycling, and rising power bills are early signs your well pump needs attention.
Common warning signs
Falling or fluctuating water pressure, faucets that sputter air, and a pump that cycles on and off rapidly are classic symptoms of well pump or pressure-system trouble.
A sudden jump in electricity use can mean the pump is running far more than it should, often due to a leak, a waterlogged pressure tank, or a worn pump.
Don't wait for total failure
Addressing these signs early is usually cheaper than an emergency call after the pump quits. A local well pump company can test pressure, the pressure switch, and the tank to pinpoint the cause.
