​
How Long Does a Water Well Pump Last?
This is where Hartley Well stands alone. While we've seen others claim the typical lifespan of a water well pump to be ten years or less, our installations often last 20 years or even much longer. This is because we use world-class parts and never cut corners with installations. In fact, many of our pumps installed in the 70's and 80's are still running strongly!
​
The Best Water Well Pump Parts
We use only the very highest quality water well pumps—stainless steel Goulds pumps. These pumps are easily the best available and, in many cases last for decades.
​
We exclusively power our water well pumps with world-class Franklin Electric pump motors. Franklin motors are designed to minimize wear and greatly extend pump life while utilizing environmentally-friendly water cooling rather than potentially very dangerous oil-cooling.
​
Hartley water well pump systems are managed by industry-leading Franklin Electric controls which are rugged enough for indoor and outdoor installations. Franklin also boasts many exclusive features such as Franklin’s QD relay, improving system performance and durability.
​
We also install durable Well-Rite water well pressure tanks that are highly corrosion-resistant, feature steel fittings and are backed by a stellar warranty.
The Best Water Well Pump Installation Practices
Quality installation is just as important as dependable equipment.
-
We always install water well pumps specific to your unique needs. Property owners often assume higher horsepower pumps will provide better yield and water pressure. However, water well pumps must be sized according to factors including the natural standing water level in a drilled water well, anticipated water usage, depth of pump setting and more. For instance, when pumps are set at less than 300 feet, a 1/2HP water well pump is often a far better choice than 3/4 or 1HP versions.
-
We always protect your water well pump and submersible wire. Hartley Well only installs the highest quality electrical wire and we firmly secure wire to in-well water pipe with the strongest electrical tape available as well as clamp-on wire protectors and torque arrestors which limit the movement of a well pump at startup. All of these steps can extend the life of your pump by minimizing potential damage to the pump itself and submersible electrical wire.
-
We always size and install water well pressure tanks to meet manufacturer specs & warrdanty guidelines. As with well pumps, a bigger water well pressure tank is not always better. For instance, constant pressure water well systems only require a 20-gallon pressure tank rather than the 33-gallon model typically installed with other water well systems.
Common Questions
-
Why do water well pumps fail? Water well pumps fail for a variety of reasons including bound pump motors, worn out parts in the pump end itself, damaged submerible pump wire, irregular power and faulty water well pump controls.
​
-
My water well pump failed! How quickly can you replace it? We typically can replace a pump the same day or within 48 hours, Monday thru Friday.
​​
-
Can I increase the water flow from my existing water well pump? Specific water well pump models are designed to support particular water flows and water pressure. For instance, a 3/4HP, 7GPM pump can build several hundred PSI of pressure and deliver perhaps 10GPM. However, the pressure switch which controls your water well system limits pressure to perhaps 40-60psi to ensure adequate water pressure without overtaxing your water pipes, fixtures and pressure tank. Call us for help matching your water well pump system to your water usage and pressure needs.
​​
-
My water well pressure tank is on its last leg but a new tank sounds expensive, What do I do? Each situation is unique but since we value lasting relationships, we won’t simply steer you to the most expensive equipment. Contact us to discuss the right pressure tank to meet your water needs and budget.
​​
-
Will my drilled water well be protected from animals and insects? We’re careful to seal every well with air-tight, heavy duty Campbell iron well caps for lasting protection from creatures large and small. We can also service wells that are contaminated or clogged.
