What Size Pump Do I Need for My Well?

To determine the right size pump for your well, you’ll need to consider factors like the depth of your well, the water flow rate required for your household, and the necessary water pressure. For shallow wells (under 25 feet), a jet pump with ½ to ¾ horsepower (HP) is typically sufficient, while deeper wells (over 25 feet) usually require a submersible pump, which can handle greater depths and provide consistent flow.

The flow rate, typically measured in gallons per minute (GPM), should match your household’s needs. The average household often requires 5 to 10 GPM, while larger homes require 15 GPM or more.

Additionally, you’ll want to ensure the pump provides adequate pressure, usually between 40 and 60 psi for most homes. Consulting a professional from JAG Plumbing can help you select the right pump size based on these factors.

What Is the Life Expectancy of a Well Water Pump?

The life expectancy of a well water pump typically ranges between 8 to 15 years, depending on several factors, such as the type of pump, usage, maintenance, and water quality. Submersible pumps, which are commonly used in wells, tend to last longer than jet pumps, with a typical lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Regular plumbing maintenance, such as checking for blockages, monitoring water pressure, and ensuring the pump is functioning properly, can help extend its life.

Types of Well Water Pumps

When it comes to choosing the right well pump for your property, it's important to understand the different types available and how they work.

Here are the most common types of well pumps:

Submersible pumps - These are designed to be submerged underwater and are ideal for deep wells, typically ranging from 25 to 400 feet deep. They work by pushing water to the surface, making them highly efficient and reliable for long-term use. These pumps are durable and less prone to damage, as they are located below the water level.
Jet pumps - These are commonly used for shallow wells, typically no deeper than 25 feet. They are mounted above ground and work by creating a vacuum to pull water up into the system. Jet pumps are often used in residential settings where the well is not very deep and where a higher water flow is required.
Centrifugal pumps - These are similar to submersible pumps but are typically used for less demanding applications. These pumps are best for low to medium water depths and work by using a rotating impeller to move water through the system. They are efficient and reliable for situations where the water source isn’t too deep.
