Common Pump Issues in Big Bear Lake

Wells in Big Bear Lake typically range from 300-600ft with geology consisting of mountain granite and decomposed granite. This means pumps here face unique challenges:

  • Pump depth settings: Most Big Bear Lake wells require pump settings between 300 and 600ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
  • Typical yields: Big Bear Lake wells produce 3-8 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
  • Local water quality: low yields common, iron, moderate hardness — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.
