About well pump repair
A well pump problem usually shows up as no water, weak or uneven pressure, a pump that runs without stopping, or a breaker that keeps tripping. The cause can be the pump down in the well, or something on the surface like the pressure switch, the tank or the controls.
A good pump company starts at the surface and works down, because the cheapest fix is the one that does not require pulling the pump. Describe what you noticed and when it started.
Signs to watch for
- No water from any tap
- Pressure that fades and comes back
- The pump runs and never shuts off
- The breaker for the well trips
- Sputtering faucets or spurts of air
- Clicking from the pressure switch with no water
- A sudden jump in your electric bill
- Cloudy or sandy water that was not there before

Do not know the details? Call anyway. The company will ask the right questions.
Well pump repair: common questions
Can a well pump be repaired, or does it always need replacing?
It depends on what failed. Surface parts like switches and controls are often repaired or swapped. A failed motor down in the well usually means replacing the pump. The company will explain which it is.
Should I keep resetting the breaker?
No. If it trips again right after a reset, leave it off and call.
How long will I be without water?
That depends on the problem and the company's schedule. Ask when you call.
Do I need a permit to repair a well pump?
Drilling, deepening or modifying a well needs a notice filed with ADWR.[source] Ask the company whether your repair involves anything like that.
Is my well registered?
Every Arizona well should have a registration number that starts with 55-.[source] Look it up on the ADWR Well Record Search (opens in a new tab).
