Common Pump Issues in Santee
Wells in Santee typically range from 200-400ft with geology consisting of alluvial near San Diego River, granite on hillsides. This means pumps here face unique challenges:
- Pump depth settings: Most Santee wells require pump settings between 200 and 400ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
- Typical yields: Santee wells produce 8-20 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
- Local water quality: nitrates possible in alluvial, harder water in granite — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.
Specific Problems We See in Santee Lakes area, Prospect Ave, West Hills
