Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Shane Ragan: When going down the path of owning and maintaining your own ground water systems, there’s many things to consider, such as maintenance and ongoing monitoring to make sure everything is working correctly. Many of the things to pay attention to from the homeowner the standpoint or from the system manager standpoint is to make sure that the system is providing good pressure, water is nice and clear and that you’re not using more electricity than what you’ve been able to pay attention to over the course of the life of the system.

A lot of those are indicators of issues that you need to contact your well water system contractor to come and see if there’s an issue that can corrected in hopes of trying to catch that early before having to incur larger repairs and issues like that. This goes for whether or not your system is used for inside the house, outside of the yard or even in your vineyard type applications. They all kind of have a lot of the same symptoms when they’re working correctly or incorrectly.
