How to Extend the Life of Your Well Pump in Florida Homes

Well pumps are the heart of your home’s water system. When they work well, you enjoy clean water at every tap. When they fail, life comes to a sudden halt.

Florida’s unique water conditions—like high mineral content and variable water tables—can strain your pump more than in other regions. With proper care, you can help your well pump last longer and avoid emergency repairs.


Regular Maintenance Matters

Simple maintenance steps go a long way:

  • Schedule professional inspections annually

  • Check pressure tank performance and pressure switch function

  • Replace worn or damaged parts promptly

  • Keep the well area clear and free of debris

  • Monitor water quality and flow rates for changes


Avoid Common Causes of Premature Failure

Florida well pumps often fail early due to:

  • Sediment and mineral buildup clogging pump components

  • Running dry when the water table drops

  • Power surges damaging electrical controls

  • Overworking due to undersized pumps or leaks

  • Lack of routine service and inspection


Signs Your Well Pump Needs Attention

Be alert for these warning signs:

  • Reduced water pressure or flow

  • Pump cycling on and off rapidly

  • Strange noises like grinding or whining

  • Water with sediment or discoloration

  • Longer pump run times than usual
