Wonder Lake well maintenance saves you money and spares you inconvenience

Wonder Lake well maintenance can save you money
and a pain in the neck later.

Is there a problem with the well at your Wonder Lake home or office? You turn or lift a handle or knob and nothing happens? In other words, no water comes out of the faucet as expected. Or, maybe you’ve noticed that the water pressure is weak.

These are indications of a problem with your well. You may also notice that the pump keeps cycling (turning off and on).

What could cause these problems with your well?

• Your well pump may have failed. However, complete failure of the pump would mean no water at all.
• You could have a leak somewhere. This would most likely exhibit itself through lower water pressure and, possibly, cycling of the pump.
• Your well tank could have the wrong pressure or a torn bladder. This will, very likely, result in a cycling well pump. The water pressure may also suffer.
• Your well pressure switch may be failing. This could cause any of these symptoms. 

Whatever the problem with your well system, it’s frustrating when you lift a faucet and the well doesn’t respond in the appropriate manner. You expect that well outside your Wonder Lake home or office to deliver.

The reality is that a well that supplies water to a home or office is a mechanical system. As with anything mechanical, it can break down. Fortunately, well systems are remarkably durable. But, parts of a well system do break, and repairs can be costly.

With wear and tear, it’s even inevitable that parts of a well system will fail. For instance, a well pump will not last forever. But, well pumps have lasted 20 and even 30 years. Keep in mind that, if your Wonder Lake well system as a tank with a torn bladder, or a faulty pressure switch, and is cycling, if not repaired soon, the pump will burn out and long before it might have otherwise.

When the water stops or the pressure falls, it’s inconvenient. And, expensive. With well maintenance, however, your Wonder Lake well will last longer and save you money in the long run.
