Common Pump Issues in Pauma Valley
Wells in Pauma Valley typically range from 200-450ft with geology consisting of granite and alluvial valley deposits. This means pumps here face unique challenges:
- Pump depth settings: Most Pauma Valley wells require pump settings between 200 and 450ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
- Typical yields: Pauma Valley wells produce 8-20 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
- Local water quality: moderate hardness (8-14 grains), boron in some areas (bad for avocados) — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.
