Understanding the Lifespan of Your Well Pump and When to Replace It

Every well pump has a lifespan — and knowing when it’s time for a replacement can save you from sudden water loss or expensive damage. On average, most well pumps last between 8 to 15 years, depending on water quality, usage, and maintenance. Prospect helps homeowners recognize the signs of wear early, ensuring a smooth and stress-free replacement process.

Over time, minerals, sediment, and electrical wear can reduce your pump’s efficiency. You may notice longer run times, inconsistent water pressure, or rising energy bills — all early warnings that your system is struggling. Ignoring these indicators can result in total failure, leaving your home without water when you need it most.

At Prospect, we perform comprehensive system evaluations to measure flow rate, motor performance, and electrical integrity. Based on our findings, we recommend repair or replacement options that prioritize reliability and cost efficiency.

💧 Common Signs It’s Time for a Replacement:
– Reduced or erratic water pressure
– Frequent cycling on and off
– Unusual noises or vibrations
– Age exceeding 10 years

When replacement is necessary, our team handles every step — from selecting the right model to precise installation and post-check testing. We only use trusted, energy-efficient systems designed for longevity and consistent performance.

Replacing your well pump before failure prevents contamination risks, minimizes downtime, and ensures constant access to clean, reliable water.

Prospect’s commitment is not just to fix problems, but to future-proof your home’s water system for years to come.
