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