Common Pump Issues in Sun City
Wells in Sun City typically range from 200-400ft with geology consisting of alluvial valley deposits. This means pumps here face unique challenges:
- Pump depth settings: Most Sun City wells require pump settings between 200 and 400ft, which means your pump is working hard to lift water from deep underground.
- Typical yields: Sun City wells produce 10-25 GPM, which affects pump sizing and horsepower requirements.
- Local water quality: hard water (12-18 grains), moderate TDS, aging infrastructure — these contaminants can cause premature pump wear and motor failure.
