Chino Valley wells and well pump replacement
A replacement pump has to be pulled from the depth it is set at, and in Chino Valley that is usually a few hundred feet. Recorded wells in 86323 have a median depth of 345 ft, and 90 percent are shallower than 510 ft.[source] The median static water level is 165 ft in 86323, which the company uses with depth to decide where to set the new pump.[source]

What well pump replacement involves
Replacing a submersible well pump means pulling the pipe, wire and pump out of the well, swapping the pump, and lowering everything back down. On deep wells that is a crew, a pump hoist or rig, and a few hours or more.
Signs to watch for in a Chino Valley home
- The pump motor has failed and will not start
- The pump runs but moves little or no water
- The breaker trips the moment the pump starts
- The pump is old and was repaired more than once
Good to know in Chino Valley
- Only about 1 percent of recorded Chino Valley wells are shallower than 100 ft.[source] If someone suggests an above-ground shallow-well pump, ask why.
- Chino Valley's median tested yield is 15 gallons per minute, from 4,722 pump tests.[source] Yield is how fast the well can give water, and it matters when sizing a pump or tank.
Wells here are moderately deep and fairly consistent. Half of the wells with a recorded depth fall between 265 and 425 ft, and the median is 345 ft.[source] The median static water level, meaning how far down the water sits when the pump is off, is 165 ft.[source]
Questions to ask the company
- What size pump do you recommend for my depth and yield, and why?
- Will you replace the wire, pipe or check valve while it is out?
- What warranty comes with the pump and the labor?
- Will the water be cloudy afterwards, and for how long?
Well pump replacement in Chino Valley: questions
How do I know the pump needs replacing and not a repair?
A company can test the pump and wiring from the surface before pulling it. Ask what tests they ran.
Does a deeper well cost more to replace?
Depth adds work because there is more pipe and wire to pull. We do not publish prices. The company will quote your well.
Are Chino Valley wells deeper than average?
A bit. The 86323 median is 345 ft, compared with 305 ft for Yavapai County as a whole.[source]
