Well Pump Selection 101

by Roy Morris

Whether you're installing a whole new well water system on your property or just replacing the pump in your existing one, the beginning of that process starts with choosing that new well pump. Many homeowners lack experience with well pump varieties and options, so they don't understand how to choose the right pump or what factors they should consider. Before you jump to investing in just any pump, here's a look at some of the things you need to think about.

What Type Of Pump Do You Need?

The first consideration when you're having a well pump installed is choosing the type of pump that's the best fit for your situation. There are two primary types of pumps that you can choose from depending on the type of well that you have.

For those homeowners with shallow wells, a jet pump is the best solution. These pumps are installed above ground level, usually inside a well pump house. Jet pumps feed a pressure tank inside the house that will be directly connected to the home's plumbing system.

If you have a deep well, you'll need to have a submersible pump instead. A submersible pump is installed inside the well, down in the water. These pumps push water out of the well, as opposed to jet pumps, which pull water up from the well. 

How Much Water Do You Need?

Before you can choose the right well pump for your home, you need to know how much water your home uses. Your well pump needs to be able to produce enough water at any given time to meet your home's peak demand. This ensures that your home will have a sufficient water supply any time you need it.

You'll want to work with a well pump installation contractor for more information and to help you assess your home's water demand to ensure that your well pump can produce enough water for your home's consumption.

How Fast Does Your Well Produce?

One thing many homeowners overlook is how quickly their well produces water. Your well pump installation technician will assess the flow of the aquifer into your well to be sure that you don't exceed the well's water flow. After all, having a pump that meets your peak demand won't help you if it exceeds your well's ability to recover. 

Your well pump installation contractor will help you to assess all of these factors and find the well pump that's the best fit for your home's needs, your well size, and the flow of the water in your well. Call a well pump installation service near you today for more information.

Brick & Mortar Vs Online Businesses: My Experience

I have owned my own small businesses for years, and I have always been happy to share my business tips with other entrepreneurs, especially those just starting out. One question I get asked about a lot is whether it is a better idea for a beginner to open an online business or a brick & mortar shop. While I wish I had a one-size-fits all answer, the truth is that it really depends on what you are selling (or what service you are providing), how the economy is doing in your local area, and your personal business goals and dreams. However, every brick & mortar business should have a website today, and it only makes sense to sell products on a website that your business needs anyway. I have many more business tips to share, and I decided to start a blog to share them with all aspiring entrepreneurs!
