If you own a water well, you want to make sure you get its pump installation right so that you can continue pumping water from this system to your property in a refined way long-term. Here are some key strategies for any type of well pump installation. 

Treat Existing Pump First

If there's already a well pump set up around your property, then you need to remove it before adding the new pump and resuming normal operations with your water well. Getting this existing pump system out won't be difficult as long as you make sure you use the appropriate tools.

One of the most important is something called a t-handle tool. It can connect to your pitless adaptor and once secure, you'll be able to pull this component up along with your pump. Then you can get ready to set up the new system that you invested in.

Invest in a Motor Protection Device

If you want to make sure your new water well pump is able to perform optimally for a long time after it's set up, then you should consider getting a motor protection device. Then even if it experiences voltage fluctuations without warning, the motor portion of your pump won't damage. You subsequently won't have to constantly replace this pump and start this installation process over again. 

Just make sure you set this device up before lowering the pump down to the appropriate depth. Then if you experience voltage spikes, this device will turn the pump off completely to keep its motor well-protected until the electrical issue is fixed. 

Thoroughly Test Pump After Installation is Complete

Once you're able to get a pump installed at the right depth for your water well system, it's important to put this component through ample tests. Then you can make sure there aren't any red flags or performance issues that would limit your ability to use this water well system to the fullest.

Pay particular attention to relevant attributes of your pump, including its flow rate, efficiency, and temperature range. If these aspects are perfect after running the pump for an extended period of time, you shouldn't have to make any adjustments.

If you purchased a new pump for your water well, make sure you outline every important stage of its installation. Then not only will you create a guide for you to easily follow, but you can also pinpoint the more difficult stages and make sure you're truly ready for them.
