Well Pump Repair in El Cajon, CA

Expert pump service for El Cajon Valley alluvium over granite wells

Common Pump Issues in El Cajon

Wells in El Cajon typically range from 200-450ft with geology consisting of El Cajon Valley alluvium over granite. This means pumps here face unique challenges:

Pump depth settings: Most El Cajon wells require pump settings between 200 and 450ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
Typical yields: El Cajon wells produce 8-15 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
Local water quality: hard water common (12-18 grains), high TDS in some areas — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.
