Step 3 – Installing the Pump system:

 

Selecting the Right Pump:

 

When selecting a pump, you want to make sure that it’s the right one for your needs. Two of the most common pumps that we use in Northern Arizona, Utah, and Southeastern Nevada are the regular water pumps and submersible pumps. The regular water pump is the primary source for your well to pump underground water to the surface. It’s the most important part of your well. The submersible well pump is like the regular pump, but is longer lasting due to pivotal advancements. The pump essentially is submerged in water and the motor is sealed off. This in turn helps your pump and well to last longer, reduce noise, and there are no priming concerns! The submersible water pump and regular water pump will complete your well and help it work to its maximum efficiency.

 

Pump Installation Considerations:

 

When installing a water pump, it is important to make sure that it is done correctly. If mistakes are made, major losses can arise when your well breaks, like having no water and paying large sums to fix your broken well. Fortunately, we at Anzalone Drilling and Pumps LLC have over 30 years of experience and can help you with all of your well drilling needs, maintenance, and repairs. Important things to consider when installing your pump is that your drive pipe should be rigid and on a downward slope toward the pump to receive the most consistent water flow. You should also be aware of any humps or bumps on the slope that could trap air and reduce performance. You also should be keenly aware of the size and length of your drive pipe because this will affect the efficiency of your pump immensely. Being conscious of these factors will help your pump and drill last longer and perform better.

Testing and Calibration:

 

One significant part of setting up your pump is making sure that the system works efficiently and you receive the correct flow rate of water. If either of these things are off, it could seriously damage your well over time, and cause you to be out of water. We at Anzalone are really familiar with pumps and can help make sure all of your equipment is working properly. Make sure you’re mindful of the weakest points of your well, so you can check its efficiency. This will impact your well immensely.

 

Step 4 – Well Development and Maintenance

 

Flushing and Cleaning:

 

Once your well is finished, you should continue to take care of and maintain your well to receive the best performance and have it last as long as possible. One way to do this is to consistently flush and clean your well. When you remove debris and sediment from your well, it’ll improve its efficiency and help it work at its full capacity. So, when you start your well maintenance, prioritize cleaning out your well.

Routine Maintenance:

 

When taking care of your well, routine maintenance is pivotal in keeping it working well. Regular inspections will keep your well working as smoothly as possible and keep it from breaking. Also, pump servicing will help keep your pump working properly and effectively. So be keenly aware of how effectively your pump is working and be sure to check up on it regularly.

 

Step 5 – Safety and Environmental Conditions:
