Pro Plumber Advice: Well Pump Upgrade

Your local Willimantic CT plumber knows that many of the older homes in the area have a jet pump well system. This type of system is outdated and inefficient. A well pump upgrade is something to consider.

Jet pump vs. submersible well pump

A jet pump is found in a basement or crawlspace of a home. It can also be found in a pump house on the property. Jet pumps are used in shallow wells. If water is within 25 feet of the ground's surface, it's considered a "shallow well." There are two types of jet pumps: single-pipe and two-pipe. Both types suck the water out of the well to the pump, so water can be delivered to your home. The water pressure is usually low and the pump can be loud.

A submersible well pump isn't visible. It's located inside a drilled or hand-dug well on the property of a home. These wells range from 60-400 feet deep. This means that the water source is lower than the home. A submersible well pump uses its existing pressure to force water out of the surface to provide water for your home. It is self-primed which saves you time.

Summer is a great time to upgrade your well system. Willimantic CT winters are brutal on plumbing systems. Winter is also a tough time for anyone to provide fast service. Snow and icy conditions make it impossible to put a plumber in a truck and on the road. If the ground is frozen, it's a challenge to unearth any well casings that may be below grade. Winter is also a time of year when budgets are tight because of the holidays. Being without water is stressful enough. The unexpected costs and possible delayed replacement time on top of it becomes a nightmare.

    I had Rapid Service come to my home because there was a saddle valve under my kitchen sink that was about to make a huge mess. I wasn't able to use my filtered water faucet until the repair was made. The technician fixed it AND had a great attitude while he worked. That is a rare thing lately...
