Well Systems, Pumps, and Constant Pressure Tanks for Pennsylvania and Maryland Homes
Storms, corrosion, collapses, equipment age, or malfunctioning equipment can be reasons why you lose water or pressure. Well systems pump ground water into your home, which feeds into a pressure system. This essential feature of your well system pumps water to your water heater and cold water fixtures.
Notice a change in your water pressure, lost water all together, or hear strange noises coming from your system? We're here to help. We will:

Well and Well Pump FAQs
What Size Well Pump Do I Need?
Determining the correct size of a well pump depends on factors such as:
-
Well depth
-
Water demand (e.g., household size, irrigation needs)
-
Static water level and drawdown
-
Pipe size and system specifications
Consulting with us at Wenger Services LLC can help ensure the appropriate pump size for your specific well system requirements.
How to Increase Water Pressure from a Well?
There are various methods you can use to increase water pressure from a well system including:
-
Adjusting pressure settings on the pressure tank or pump control switch.
-
Installing a constant pressure system or pressure-boosting pump.
-
Checking for and repairing leaks or blockages in pipes.
-
Upgrading to a larger capacity pump or adding a secondary pump.
-
Consulting with a professional well system technician for personalized recommendations.
How to Troubleshoot Well Pump Problems?
When it comes to troubleshooting your well pump problems, there are several things you can do to ensure you don't have a bigger problem.
-
Checking power sources and circuit breakers.
-
Inspecting pressure switches and control valves for proper operation.
-
Testing for air or water leaks in pipes or fittings.
-
Verifying the condition of the pressure tank and pressure relief valve.
-
Assessing pump motor functionality and electrical connections.
If you give us a call, we'll verify the manufacturing manual and thoroughly inspect the root cause of your well pump failure.
How can a constant pressure tank help my water pressure?
Constant pressure systems for well water are advanced pump control systems designed to maintain a consistent water pressure throughout the home or building, regardless of changes in demand or water usage.
Unlike traditional well pump systems that operate at a fixed pressure, constant pressure systems use variable frequency drives (VFDs) or other electronic controllers to adjust the pump speed based on real-time water demand.
Variable Speed Pump:
Constant pressure systems feature a pump with a variable speed drive that can adjust the pump's rotational speed based on the water demand. When water usage increases, such as during simultaneous showers or appliance usage, the pump speeds up to maintain consistent pressure. Conversely, when water demand decreases, the pump slows down to conserve energy.
Pressure Sensor:
A pressure sensor is installed in the water line to monitor the system's pressure continuously. The sensor relays pressure readings to the controller, allowing it to adjust the pump speed accordingly to maintain the desired pressure setpoint.
Electronic Controller:
The electronic controller, typically located near the pressure tank or pump, receives input from the pressure sensor and controls the pump's operation. It adjusts the pump speed in real-time to match the water demand and maintain constant pressure throughout the plumbing system.
Consistent Water Pressure:
Constant pressure systems deliver a steady flow of water at the desired pressure level, providing consistent water pressure to all fixtures and appliances in the home or building. This eliminates fluctuations in water pressure commonly experienced with traditional well pump systems, ensuring a more comfortable and reliable water supply.
Energy Efficiency:
By operating the pump at variable speeds based on demand, constant pressure systems can significantly reduce energy consumption compared to traditional pump systems that run at a fixed speed. The ability to adjust the pump speed to match the required flow rate optimizes energy usage and minimizes wasted energy.
Extended Pump Lifespan:
Constant pressure systems help prolong the lifespan of the pump by reducing stress and wear associated with frequent starts and stops. The gradual acceleration and deceleration of the pump motor contribute to smoother operation and less mechanical strain, resulting in longer-lasting equipment.
Overall, constant pressure systems offer homeowners a more efficient, reliable, and comfortable water supply solution compared to traditional well pump systems. They provide consistent water pressure, improve energy efficiency, and extend the lifespan of the pump, making them a popular choice for modern well water systems.
Why Do I Have A Puddle Around My Well?
The presence of a puddle around the well can be a cause for concern as it suggests that water is leaking or seeping out of the well casing. This could be due to various reasons such as cracks or damage to the well casing, improper sealing around the wellhead, or groundwater infiltration.
A puddle around the well can have various implications, including potential contamination of the groundwater, risk of damage to the well components, and compromised water quality. It is essential to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the safety and reliability of the well water supply.
We can identify and address the issues of your pit-less system and keep your water running.
