Prescott Valley wells and pressure switch repair

What pressure switch repair involves
A switch problem can look like a pump failure: no water, or a pump that never stops. It is also one of the more common surface fixes, which is why companies check it early. It carries household voltage, so leave it closed.
Signs to watch for in a Prescott Valley home
- The pump will not start even though the breaker is on
- The pump will not shut off
- Pressure never reaches its normal reading
- Burn marks or a hot smell near the switch
Good to know in Prescott Valley
- Dewey and Humboldt are next door and have their own pages on this site.
- In 86312, about 74 percent of recorded wells fall in the 400 to 600 ft range.[source] Expect a pump pull to be a bigger job than in shallower areas.
The water also sits farther down. The median static water level is 360 ft in 86312 and 272 ft in 86315, compared with 165 ft in Chino Valley.[source] That is a lot of pipe and wire between the pump and your pressure tank.
Questions to ask the company
- Is it the switch, the tank or the pump?
- Should the small tube under the switch be cleaned or replaced too?
- Does my tank pressure match the switch setting?
- Is a low-pressure cutoff switch a good idea for my well?
Well pressure switch repair in Prescott Valley: questions
Why does the pump not shut off?
A stuck switch is one cause. A leak, a failing pump or low water are others. The company will check.
Is a switch replacement a big job?
It is usually a surface job, so the pump stays in the well. Ask the company.
Why are Prescott Valley wells so deep?
We can only report what the records show: medians of 510 ft in 86312 and 504 ft in 86315.[source] A local pump company or a geologist can explain the local geology.
