Common Pump Issues in Oak Hills
Wells in Oak Hills typically range from 200-500ft with geology consisting of high desert granite and alluvial deposits. This means pumps here face unique challenges:
- Pump depth settings: Most Oak Hills wells require pump settings between 200 and 500ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
- Typical yields: Oak Hills wells produce 8-20 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
- Local water quality: hard water (12-20 grains), high TDS, low yields in granite — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.

Pump Types for Oak Hills Geology
Because of the high desert granite and alluvial deposits in Oak Hills, we typically install:
- Submersible pumps for depths over 250 feet (most common in Oak Hills)
- Specific horsepower: Based on your well's yield (8-20 GPM) and total dynamic head
- Stainless steel construction to handle hard water (12-20 grains), high TDS, low yields in granite
