Shallow well pumps: These typically last 8-10 years, but can sometimes last up to 15 years with proper maintenance.
Deep well pumps: These usually have a longer lifespan, ranging from 15 to 25 years, with submersible pumps often lasting longer than jet pumps, which are non-submersible pumps that use a high-velocity jet of fluid to create a vacuum and move a large amount of fluid.
However, the frequency of use, quality of the equipment, water quality, and lack of attention to maintenance can shorten the life of your well pump.
