Your Welsco family would recommend getting your well and pump checked to make sure it can keep up with you this season. During the spring and summer months there’s a high demand on your well, not only for consumption, but also irrigation. Unfortunately, we receive a high volume of calls during the summer when people either run out of water, or their pump fails, leaving them scrambling to get water during the blistering heat. To avoid this terrible mishap, give us a call to get a complete inspection done. This includes a flow test, inspection of well components, and water quality check done.
A flow test checks the static and draw down of your well, making sure it’s able to keep up with the demands you place on it. Inspection of well components is a check of the pressure tank and pump. Pump checks are recommended to make sure that your pump isn’t going to fail on you. If your pump is drawing more amps than it should be, it could be an indication that your water level has dropped, requiring the pump to work harder to get your water to surface, or it could mean that your pump is on its way out the door. Either way, an inspection is great to determine what further steps need to be taken, if any, to keep you and your pump happy this summer.
Lastly, we always think it’s a great idea to get a quality test done on your water. A quality test is done to determine what kind of minerals and bacteria are present in your water. I mean who doesn’t want to know what they are consuming daily?
We suggest these 3 simple steps to be added to your spring cleaning/maintenance list to keep you and yours happy this 2024 season. Now get outside and enjoy the sunny months to come!
