Common Pump Issues in Lake Arrowhead
Wells in Lake Arrowhead 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 Lake Arrowhead wells require pump settings between 300 and 600ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
- Typical yields: Lake Arrowhead 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.
