Signs of a pump problem

No water at any tap.

Low or uneven pressure, or water that spits from the faucet.

The pump turns on and off often, even when little water is used. This often points to the pressure tank.

Sand or sediment in the water. MDH says a well built right should not normally produce sand, and sand can damage the pump.

Check the breaker and the pressure gauge first. If the water stopped and the power is on, call a well company.

How a home water system works

MDH calls it the three P's: a pump, a pitless adapter and a pressure tank.

The pump sits down in the well. Most drilled wells use a submersible pump. Jet pumps are used on smaller wells.
The pitless adapter is a fitting on the casing, usually 6 or 7 feet down, below the frost line. The water line to the house leaves the well there, so it won't freeze.
The pressure tank, usually in the basement, stores water under pressure. A switch shuts the pump off at a set pressure, typically 40 to 60 psi, and starts it again at 20 to 40 psi.

Before you call

Find your well record. Look up your address in the Minnesota Well Index. MDH says most wells built before 1974 are not on file, but newer ones usually are. The record shows the depth, which helps the company bring the right pump.

Ask what is included: pulling the pump, the new pump, wire, drop pipe, the pressure tank and a water test after the work.

Check the license. Minnesota law says only MDH-licensed contractors may build, repair or seal a well. Ask for the company's MDH license number, and check it with MDH.
