Introduction to Well Pump Services
Rich Moseley Irrigation Inc offers specialized well pump services to ensure private water systems operate smoothly and safely for irrigation applications. Whether your property depends on municipal water or a private well, properly functioning pumps and pressure systems are essential to maintain consistent irrigation schedules and protect pump longevity. Our technicians have extensive experience diagnosing, repairing, and installing well pumps, pressure tanks, and related components since 1980.
Why Well Pump Care Matters
A well pump supplies the flow and pressure needed to operate a sprinkler system. When pumps fail, leaks occur, or pressure tanks short-cycle, your irrigation system becomes unreliable and can cause landscape stress. Fast, expert service reduces downtime, prevents plant damage, and avoids costly pump replacements by addressing issues early.
Key Benefits of Professional Well Pump Services
Reliable water delivery for irrigation needs.
Proper pump sizing and system design to avoid short-cycling and pump wear.
Timely diagnosis and repairs that extend pump life.
Balanced pressure systems that ensure even watering and protect components.
Compliance support for electrical and safety considerations around pumps.
We Provide
Well Pump Services
01.
Pump Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
Our technicians test pumps for electrical faults, motor issues, flow inconsistencies, and pressure irregularities. We determine whether the issue is electrical, mechanical, or related to the well itself.
02.
Pump Repair and Component Replacement
We repair or replace motor components, impellers, bearings, and seals. When possible, we repair pumps in place; if removal is necessary, we provide efficient replacement and reinstallation.
03.
Pressure Tank Services and Replacement
Pressure tanks maintain a stable pressure range, preventing the pump from turning on and off too frequently. We check tank health, bladder integrity, and pressure settings—replacing tanks when necessary.
04.
Pump Sizing and System Design for Irrigation Loads
Irrigation demands can be substantial. We size pumps and design plumbing to match irrigation flow requirements while optimizing energy usage and avoiding overloads.
05.
Submersible and Jet Pump Services
We service common pump types used in residential irrigation setups—submersible pumps for deeper wells and jet pumps for shallow groundwater. Each type requires specialized knowledge for diagnosis and repair.
06.
Pump Controls, Pressure Switches, and Automation
We install and repair pressure switches, control panels, and automation that protect pumps and coordinate with your irrigation controller. Proper control prevents dry-run damage and improves system resilience.
07.
Emergency Pump Service and Rapid Response
Pump failure can leave your landscape vulnerable during high-heat periods. We offer rapid-response services to diagnose and restore pump operation quickly.
Signs Your Well Pump Needs Service
Low or no flow from irrigation zones despite active controller cycles.
Short-cycling: pump turns on/off frequently in minutes.
Unusual noises from the pump or motor.
Reduced pressure during irrigation operation or when multiple zones run.
Moisture around pump components or electrical panels.
Common Pump Problems and Solutions
Air in lines
Bleed lines and diagnose well casing or intake issues.
Electrical faults
Test motor windings, capacitors, and wiring; repair or replace as needed.
Clogged intake or impeller wear
Service or replace impellers and clean intakes.
Pressure tank bladder failure
Replace tanks and reseat pressure settings.
Overheating due to excessive run cycles
Rebalance system and check pump sizing.
How We Ensure a Safe and Reliable Pump System
Electrical safety
We ensure all pump electrical work meets code and safety standards.
Dry-run protection
We install controls that prevent pumps from running without adequate water supply.
Correct horsepower sizing
Oversized or undersized pumps wear prematurely; we size pumps to the irrigation load.
Quality parts
We use reputable replacement components designed for well and irrigation use.
Energy Efficiency and Pump Operation
Pumps are energy-intensive components. Correct sizing, proper system balancing, and efficient scheduling reduce energy costs. We evaluate pump runtime against irrigation schedules to recommend adjustments that lower energy consumption without compromising irrigation needs.
Well Pump Installation and Integration
When new pumps are needed, we offer full-service installation: removal of old units, well motor selection, electrical hookup, piping, pressure tank integration, and testing. We coordinate with well drilling contractors when necessary and ensure installations meet local codes.
(FAQs)
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a well pump be serviced?
Annual inspections are recommended to check electrical connections, pressure tank function, and pump performance. More frequent checks may be necessary if the pump serves large irrigation loads or shows signs of stress.
What causes a pump to short-cycle?
Short-cycling often results from a failing pressure tank bladder, incorrect pressure switch settings, or improper pump sizing. We diagnose and correct the root cause to prevent further damage.
Can I use a well for irrigation and household water?
Yes. Many properties use separate lines or pressure systems to supply both household needs and irrigation. Proper backflow prevention and system design are required to protect potable water.
How long does a typical submersible pump last?
Lifespan varies based on usage, water quality, and maintenance. With proper care, submersible pumps may last 8–15 years; well maintenance and preventive service can extend this timeframe.
