Common Pump Issues in Highland
Wells in Highland typically range from 200-400ft with geology consisting of San Bernardino alluvial deposits. This means pumps here face unique challenges:
- Pump depth settings: Most Highland wells require pump settings between 200 and 400ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
- Typical yields: Highland wells produce 10-25 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
- Local water quality: hard water (12-18 grains), nitrates in some areas — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.

Pump Types for Highland Geology
Because of the San Bernardino alluvial deposits in Highland, we typically install:
- Submersible pumps for depths over 250 feet (most common in Highland)
- Specific horsepower: Based on your well's yield (10-25 GPM) and total dynamic head
- Stainless steel construction to handle hard water (12-18 grains), nitrates in some areas
