Submersible vs. jet pumps
Most Marion County home wells use a submersible pump that sits down in the well and pushes water up. Some shallower or older wells use an above-ground jet pump. Both can fail from age, lightning, running dry, sand, or constant short-cycling caused by a bad pressure tank.
What a technician checks
- Power to the pump: breakers, control box and wiring
- The pressure switch and its contacts
- The pressure tank's air charge and bladder
- Amperage draw and pump performance
- Water level in the well
Sometimes the fix is a $50 part. Sometimes the pump has to be pulled and replaced. Diagnosing first saves money.
Before you call
Check the breaker for the well pump and look at the pressure gauge near your tank. If the gauge reads zero and the breaker is fine, the problem is likely the switch, the pump, or the wiring. Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips repeatedly.
Questions about well pump repair & replacement
How long does a well pump last?
Many submersible pumps last roughly 8 to 15 years. Short-cycling from a failed pressure tank, sand, and lightning can shorten that.
Can lightning damage my well pump?
Yes. Central Florida has frequent lightning, and surges are a common cause of pump and control failure. A surge protector at the pump control can help.
No water, low pressure, or need a new well?
