Broken Control Box: The control box can be found outside of your well, usually in your basement near the pressure system. It functions as the start and run-relay for your submersible pump. If this box isn’t working properly your pump won’t run either. This can be repaired quickly by simply switching out the control box.
Broken Pressure Switch: The pressure switch is found in front of your pressure tank, usually in a basement mechanical room. It senses the pressure in the water piping and signals your well pump (submersible or jet pump) to turn on and off. Often this switch gets coated in dust, which blocks the electrical signal to turn your pump on and off. The pressure switch can be easily replaced.
Broken Wire: There are wires that travel from your house, underground and down your well to reach your submersible pump. These wires can occasionally break, due to age or direct damage. Luckily, most of the time the damaged wire is located in the well itself, so it can be accessed and repaired easily.
Broken Well Pump: Submersible pumps and jet pumps can work for many years, but at some point they will fail. There are many reasons why the aging pump fails, such as mineral build up, burn-out, or failed parts. At this time many people with jet pumps decide to switch to a submersible pump.
Running out of Water: It is possible for your well to run out of water and if you’re not aware of this, your pump will continuously run, trying to produce water. This will cause pump burn-out. To prevent this, a PumpTec, which is an automatic shut-off, can be installed as a proactive measure.
