Well & Water Systems

No Water Emergency in Florida

Q: My well pump stopped working. How urgent is this?

Very urgent if you have no other water source. First, check your breaker panel — a tripped breaker is the simplest fix. Check the pressure tank — if the gauge shows 0, the pump has failed or lost prime. A licensed well contractor can typically diagnose and repair within 1–3 days. A new submersible pump installed runs $1,500–$4,000 depending on depth. If you're on a shared well, notify the other users immediately.

Q: How often should I test my well water?

Annual testing is recommended for bacterial contamination (coliform, E. coli) — the most critical safety test. Every 3–5 years: expand testing to include nitrates, pH, hardness, iron, manganese, and any local contaminants of concern (arsenic, radon, agricultural runoff depending on your area). After any flood, nearby spill, or work on the well: retest bacteria immediately. Your county health department often offers free or subsidized testing.

Q: I'm buying a house on a well. What should I have inspected?

Well inspection ($200–$400) should include: flow rate test (gallons per minute — minimum 5 GPM for residential), water quality testing (bacteria, nitrates, hardness minimum), pump condition, pressure tank condition, and well cap integrity. This is typically separate from the general home inspection. Many home inspectors don't include well testing — hire a licensed well contractor to evaluate the system.

Q: My water pressure is low. Is this a well problem?

Not necessarily — low pressure causes include: low water table during drought (pump may need to be lowered), pressure tank waterlogged (most common cause of fluctuating/low pressure, $400–$800 to replace the tank), pump wear, or pressure switch set too low. A waterlogged pressure tank is the most common and most easily fixed cause. A well contractor can diagnose in one visit.

Q: Is a water softener worth it for well water?

For hard water (high calcium/magnesium), a water softener reduces scale buildup on appliances, pipes, and fixtures — extending water heater life significantly and reducing soap usage. Get a water test showing hardness (grains per gallon) before investing in a softener. Hard water over 10–12 GPG typically justifies a softener ($1,000–$3,000 installed). Salt-free conditioners are an alternative for those on sodium-restricted diets.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions in FL

My well water smells like rotten eggs. Is it safe to drink?

The rotten egg smell is usually hydrogen sulfide — can be from naturally occurring sulfur bacteria or decaying organic material. It's unpleasant but not typically a health hazard at low levels. Have your water tested by a state-certified lab first ($100–$200 for a comprehensive panel including bacteria, nitrates, pH, hardness, and H2S). Treatment options (shock chlorination for bacteria, aeration or filtration for H2S) depend on the test results.
