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

Pump Types for Redlands Geology
Because of the citrus belt alluvial deposits in Redlands, we typically install:
- Submersible pumps for depths over 250 feet (most common in Redlands)
- Specific horsepower: Based on your well's yield (10-25 GPM) and total dynamic head
- Stainless steel construction to handle hard water (10-18 grains), nitrates, moderate TDS
Signs Your Redlands Well Pump is Failing
- Pressure drops below 40 PSI
- Pump runs continuously or cycles frequently
- Rusty or sandy water (common with citrus belt alluvial deposits)
- High electric bills (pump working too hard)
- No water at all (complete failure)
