• Well pumps typically last 10 to 15 years, but their lifespan depends on:
  • Usage: High water demand can wear out a pump faster.
  • Pump type: Submersible pumps last longer (10-15 years) than jet pumps (7-10 years).
  • Water quality: Hard water or sediment can wear down pump components.
  • Signs you may need a replacement:
  • Low or inconsistent water pressure.
  • Spitting or sputtering faucets.
  • Increased energy bills (a failing pump has to work harder).
  • Pump runs constantly or cycles too frequently.
  • Replacing a failing pump before it completely breaks down prevents total water loss and potential damage to the system.
