Common Pump Issues in Spring Valley
Wells in Spring Valley typically range from 250-450ft with geology consisting of granite bedrock with limited alluvial. This means pumps here face unique challenges:
- Pump depth settings: Most Spring Valley wells require pump settings between 250 and 450ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
- Typical yields: Spring Valley wells produce 5-12 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
- Local water quality: moderate hardness (8-14 grains), limited wells - mostly municipal — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.

Pump Types for Spring Valley Geology
Because of the granite bedrock with limited alluvial in Spring Valley, we typically install:
- Submersible pumps for depths over 250 feet (most common in Spring Valley)
- Specific horsepower: Based on your well's yield (5-12 GPM) and total dynamic head
- Stainless steel construction to handle moderate hardness (8-14 grains), limited wells - mostly municipal
Signs Your Spring Valley Well Pump is Failing
- Pressure drops below 40 PSI
- Pump runs continuously or cycles frequently
- Rusty or sandy water (common with granite bedrock with limited alluvial)
- High electric bills (pump working too hard)
- No water at all (complete failure)
