Common Pump Issues in Ontario
Wells in Ontario typically range from 200-400ft with geology consisting of San Bernardino alluvial fan deposits. This means pumps here face unique challenges:
- Pump depth settings: Most Ontario wells require pump settings between 200 and 400ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
- Typical yields: Ontario wells produce 10-30 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
- Local water quality: hard water (12-20 grains), nitrates, industrial contamination concerns — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.
Specific Problems We See in North Ontario, South Ontario, Airport area

Pump Types for Ontario Geology
Because of the San Bernardino alluvial fan deposits in Ontario, we typically install:
- Submersible pumps for depths over 250 feet (most common in Ontario)
- Specific horsepower: Based on your well's yield (10-30 GPM) and total dynamic head
- Stainless steel construction to handle hard water (12-20 grains), nitrates, industrial contamination concerns
Signs Your Ontario Well Pump is Failing
- Pressure drops below 40 PSI
- Pump runs continuously or cycles frequently
- Rusty or sandy water (common with San Bernardino alluvial fan deposits)
- High electric bills (pump working too hard)
- No water at all (complete failure)
