Well Pump Systems
Choosing the Best Well Pump System for Your Home
A submersible well pump is in constant contact with water and also uses a lot of power to operate on a daily basis. These reasons make them more susceptible to ongoing wear and tear… making a breakdown more likely that would leave your home stranded without water. If the time comes for a well pump replacement, finding a new unit that addresses your particular home’s demands is essential.
A submersible well pump installation should always be handled by an expert plumber. As a top-rated local plumbing contractor, Graybill Service Group has significant experience with several types of submersible well pumps and can help you decide the right plan of action for your submersible well pump installation. We’ll take the time to inspect the design of your well—whether you’re working with a deep well pump installation, shallow well pump with pressure tank, or even a water jet pump. We’ll also examine your existing system, including well pump pressure tanks and pressure switches, to determine the best solution that delivers reliable flow and pressure aligned with your household’s needs.
“Having your well pump die is NEVER fun. This is not the first time it’s happened in our 35 years here, so we knew what to expect. Our long-time plumber has joined the Graybill team. He fits in well. All the folks that showed up worked well together. What they needed was brought to them by other team members. What they didn’t know about our setup (which is a bit unusual) they found out. With the new pump, controller, and a new way to wire things, this setup may last another 15 years or more. THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!”
Types of Well Pump Systems Available Through Graybill Service Group
Submersible Well Pumps
While an above-ground pumping system sucks water out of the ground, a submersible well pump is designed to push water to the surface. The size of the submersible well pump is based on the yield of the well and the needs of your particular household, plus your water pressure preferences. Like the sump pump found in many homes, a submersible well pump will not work unless it’s completely submerged. Plus, it needs a lot of power to operate on a daily basis. These reasons make it more susceptible to ongoing wear and tear…increasing the risk of being stranded without water.
Typically, submersible pumps have fewer problems and can last up to 25 years before needing to be replaced. Above ground water pumps have a higher rate of mechanical problems and failures because of the dynamics of pulling water up from a well.
But if you’re noticing fluctuating water pressure, short cycling, or cloudy well water, it may be time for well pump repair or even a well pump replacement. Our technicians diagnose and resolve root causes—from sediment intrusion and worn seals to pressure tank failure—to restore clean, clear, and properly pressurized water.
Booster Pumps
Poor water pressure can make everyday tasks like cooking, bathing, and laundry frustrating. If you’re struggling with low or no water pressure in your home, a booster pump may be an excellent solution. Whether your home draws from a well or municipal supply, a booster pump paired with a well water pressure tank and properly calibrated pressure switch can smooth out flow and ensure steady pressure throughout your home.
What Types of Homes Will Typically Benefit from a Booster Pump?
- Houses at the end of the community water supply line.
- Homes high above the supply line or uphill from the pumping station.
- Tall multi-family residential properties.
Any home can experience poor water pressure, though, for there can be multiple contributing factors. The experienced Graybill team can assess all factors contributing to poor water pressure and advise the best and most cost-effective plan of action to help restore your home’s water pressure.
Jet Pumps
For shallow wells (no deeper than 25 feet), water jet pumps are a practical, above-ground option. Jet pumps are secured above the well or inside your home and use suction to move water. These systems rely heavily on a properly sized shallow well pump with pressure tank to maintain pressure and prevent pump wear. The force of water movement with a jet pump is similar to how a water nozzle works on a garden hose: Restricting the jet aperture increases the pressure and moves the water more quickly—resulting in reliable, efficient performance.
