How You Can Do A Water Well Pump Repair

By Sally Delacruz


There would be times that you will be turning that faucet on but nothing would flow out of it. If your supply is from the well then you have to check it as it may be dry already. You have to test its parts so that you will be able to know if you have to do a water well pump repair for that.

Wisconsin is a state you could find in north central United States. It is at the Midwest and Great Lakes area. This is one of the US states that are very populated. When you talk about the length of the coastline of the Great Lakes, this is in that list too. You will never doubt when you see water wells.

There are things that you should be doing for these repairs. You have to check its motor using the ohm meter if it does not function anymore. You should be measuring the voltage which is powering this so one will know there is still enough power. It has to receive the voltage which was indicated for it. You must be checking its fuse and circuit breaker after that.

You have to manually open and close its pressure switch. Before you would be doing that, you have to make sure that the power is already disconnected. Inspect the round contacts to see if there are any damages. Use a small piece of cloth to polish that surface. If it has worn out, you would have to replace the switch already. Get the manual for it so you could read the instructions on how you could adjust its pressure.

You should also check if there are leaks in the pump. You might be needing to pull the suction pipe in there. The pipe and parts of its sections should be checked. If there are some cracks, it will just be bigger as time would pass by. It has to be sealed properly to avoid such things from happening.

The valves should be inspected so you can ensure that it is in a good condition. If it is damaged, it will be causing a problem on its suction. It has to be replaced when you have noticed any damages so you could avoid pulling that over and over again.

You should remove the housing of the pump so you could have its impeller checked. Make sure that there is no power from the motor before you would disassemble it. You could use a wrench for this to be done. You will find a large gasket in it which could also cause air leaks. Replace the parts that have damage. You should also lubricate the gasket before you will return the housing so it would not break.

You could contact some professionals if you will not be able to get it done by yourself. It will be harder depending on how deep your well is. There could be times that more people will be needed just to pull the pipe and motor from it.

Before that, be certain that you got the manual for that. You could download one in the Internet when you have no copy for it. The instructions have to be followed so you can do it right to avoid having the warranty void.
