  • What's the average lifespan of a well pump?

    In our experience, most well pumps last six to 10 years or more, depending on water quality, usage, and maintenance. At J&J Pumps, Inc, we provide well pump replacement and installation services when your pump reaches the end of its lifespan.

  • What causes low water pressure in a well system?

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

  • Can I install a well pump myself?

    It's not recommended. Well pump installation requires specialized knowledge and equipment. We provide professional well pump installation and water pump replacement services to ensure proper setup and functioning.

  • What's the difference between a jet pump and a submersible pump?

    Jet pumps are located above ground, while submersible pumps are installed inside the well itself. We offer jet pump and submersible pump installation, maintenance, and expert water pump replacement services—all tailored to your specific well system.

  • What should I do if my well runs dry?

    When the taps stop flowing, it’s common to think your well has run out of water, but that’s rarely the case. Usually, the issue is a worn pump, clogged pipes, or mechanical problems. Contact a well professional as soon as you notice an issue!


    At J&J Pumps, we offer emergency services including water pump replacement, diagnostics, and lowering to get your water flowing again fast.

  • What's a constant pressure system?

    It's a system that maintains consistent water pressure regardless of how many fixtures are in use. We offer constant pressure system installation, maintenance, and water pump replacement services to help improve water pressure consistency and reliability.

  • What's a variable speed pump?

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

  • How do I know if I need a new well?

    Signs include persistent water quality issues, insufficient water supply, or a well that's past its expected lifespan—usually 30 to 50 years, in our experience. We provide well assessment services and can recommend water pump replacement or a new well if needed.

  • How do I know if my pressure tank bladder has failed?

    Signs include rapid pump cycling, water from the air fill valve, or the tank feeling heavy. To identify and resolve these issues, we provide pressure tank inspections, pump performance diagnostics, and water pump replacement services when needed.

  • How often should I replace my well's pressure tank?

    In our experience, it depends! According to reports from World Water Reserve, a properly maintained and serviced pressure tank can last between 10 and 15 years, depending on the quality of the build, but some may need replacement sooner if they develop leaks or lose pressure.


    To keep your system running smoothly, we offer inspection, maintenance, and replacement services for pressure tanks, along with water pump replacement for related pump systems.
