Submersible Well Pump Repair and Installation
A submersible pump sits at the bottom of your well, submerged in water, and pushes water up to the surface and into your home. It is the most common pump type for residential wells on the Treasure Coast. When it fails, you have no water. Brent Pump Works repairs, replaces, and installs submersible well pumps across Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach counties.
How Submersible Pumps Work
A submersible pump is a sealed unit that combines a motor and a pump in a single housing. It is lowered into the well on a drop pipe and sits below the water level. When the pressure in your home drops below the pressure switch setting, the pump turns on and pushes water up the drop pipe, into the pressure tank, and through your plumbing. When the tank reaches the upper pressure setting, the pump shuts off.
Because the pump is underwater and sealed, it operates quietly and efficiently. But because it is at the bottom of a well, servicing it requires pulling the pump out of the well, which involves specialized equipment and a licensed contractor.
