Steps On Doing 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.

At the north central area of the United States is Wisconsin. It is situated in the Midwest and the Great Lakes part. It is on the list of the most populous US states. If you would speak about its Great Lakes coastline length, it is also part of that list. No doubt that homeowners have water wells in their house.

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 should open and close the pressure switch manually. Before you could do that, you must be sure that it has been disconnected from the power. You have to inspect its round contacts so you could see if there have been damages. Using a piece of cloth, polish the surfaces. If it is already worn out, you should replace that switch. Get its manual so one would know how you will be able to adjust the pressure that is needed for it.

One has to check the pump for any leaks. The suction pipe must be pulled from there too. Ensure that you will be checking it and the parts on each of its sections. If you saw some cracks, that will turn into a bigger one in a short period of time. Be sure it will be sealed so it would not occur.

You should have its valve checked so you will know if it is still operating well. If it has some damages, it would only cause problems for the suction. You have to replace it if there are damages so you will not be pulling it again next time.

The pump housing has to removing so you the impeller can be inspected. Be certain that it is no longer powered by the motor prior to disassembling it. It is best if you will be using a wrench to get things done easily. Look for its large gasket as that can be the cause for an air leak too. If it has damages, replace that soon. Lubricating the gasket before the housing is returned prevents breakage.

There are professionals which you can contact if you could not do it on your own. The work would usually depend on how deep the well is. There would be times that you would require more people so you could pull the pipe and the motor in 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.
