Five Signs Your Well Pump Needs Repair — And What to Do 

Intermittent Or No Water Flow

The most obvious sign something is wrong with your Carlisle well pump is when water stops flowing completely. If faucets run dry or you get water only sporadically, your well pump might have lost prime, experienced electrical failure, or even burned out.  The initial step should be to check your circuit breaker. If it’s not a power issue, call a licensed well pump technician right away. Continued attempts to use a failing pump can make things worse.


Low or Fluctuating Water Pressure

Sudden drops in water pressure or water that unpredictably surges can point to problems with the pressure tank, a leaking pipe, or pump wear and tear.  Inconsistent pressure is a red flag that something is off-balance in your system.


Strange Noises or Clicking Sounds

If your pump is experiencing a constant clicking near your pressure switch or odd humming noises, don’t ignore them. This can mean the pump is cycling on and off too frequently, which can lead to early burnout.  These symptoms typically indicate issues with the pressure tank or electrical system. The prudent approach is to call a professional to assess it before damage becomes permanent.


Higher Electric Bills Than Normal

A sudden increase in your electric bill may be the result of a failing pump.  A failing pump works harder and longer to do the same job, using an elevated level of power.   If you notice a cost increase but no change in your normal electrical usage, checking your pump system should be the next step.

Discolored (Turbid) or Muddy Water

Water Turbidity

Cloudy, sandy, or rusty water may mean your pump is pulling sediment from the bottom of the well.  This may mean the pump is placed too low, the screen is damaged, or there is a problem with the well.  We advise you to shut off the system and get an inspection. Running sediment through your plumbing can damage pipes, appliances, water treatment equipment and the pump itself.


Well Pumps Do Not Last Forever 

Well pumps do a lot of work!  The average lifespan is approximately 10–15 years.   However, usage, in-coming water quality, and regular maintenance can make a big difference in the useful lifespan.
