Key signs include: no water or very low water pressure, pump running constantly without shutting off, frequent cycling on and off, dirty or sandy water, unusual noises from the well, sputtering faucets, and high electricity bills. If your pump is over 10-15 years old and showing problems, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair.

Should I repair or replace my well pump?

Replace your pump if it's over 10 years old, requires repeated repairs, has significantly reduced flow, or if repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost. Repair makes sense for newer pumps with minor issues like faulty pressure switches, check valves, or control box problems.
