Common Pump Issues in De Luz
Wells in De Luz typically range from 200-400ft with geology consisting of gabbroic rock and weathered granite. This means pumps here face unique challenges:
- Pump depth settings: Most De Luz wells require pump settings between 200 and 400ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
- Typical yields: De Luz wells produce 5-15 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
- Local water quality: moderate hardness, occasional boron (bad for avocados) — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.
