Top Reasons Your Well Pump May Lose Efficiency Over Time

Even the best well pumps can lose efficiency as the years pass. From mineral buildup to motor wear, small issues can reduce performance and lead to higher energy use. Knowing what causes efficiency loss can help you take action before problems escalate.


Common Causes of Efficiency Loss

  • Age of the Pump – Older systems naturally become less reliable.

  • Mineral and Sediment Buildup – Restricts flow and stresses the motor.

  • Worn Components – Bearings, seals, and motors wear down over time.

  • Overuse or Heavy Demand – Constant strain reduces efficiency.

  • Electrical Issues – Faulty wiring or surges affect performance.
