Common Pump Issues in Rialto
Wells in Rialto 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 Rialto wells require pump settings between 200 and 400ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
- Typical yields: Rialto wells produce 10-25 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
- Local water quality: hard water (12-20 grains), nitrates, moderate to high TDS — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.
