Pressure and Flow Problems
The most common early warning is inconsistent water pressure — strong one minute, weak the next — or air spitting from the faucets. You might also notice the pump running longer than it used to or cycling on and off rapidly. These point to a pump, pressure tank, or control problem that's easier to fix before it becomes a total failure.
- Fluctuating or dropping water pressure
- Air sputtering from faucets
- Pump running constantly or cycling rapidly
Sounds, Bills, and Water Quality
A pump working too hard often shows up on your electric bill, since it's running more than it should. Listen for strange noises from the pressure tank or control box, and watch for sudden sediment or cloudiness in your water, which can mean the well or pump is struggling.
- Unexplained jump in the electric bill
- New sediment or cloudy water
- Odd noises from the tank or controls
Don't Wait for a Dry Faucet
Most of these signs give you a window to fix the problem on your schedule instead of during an emergency. If you're seeing any of them, have the system checked. Call (325) 555-0156 and we'll diagnose it before you're left without water.
