Save Big Cash via Periodic Inspection of Your Well Water Pump
Your well pump is one of the most important components in your home’s water system. It draws water from your well and supplies it to your home on demand. But what many homeowners don’t realize is that the longevity and efficiency of that pump depend heavily on something else—the well pressure tank. At Cliff Cummings Water Services, we’ve helped countless homeowners extend the life of their water pump simply by ensuring their well tank is correctly installed and maintained.
The well tank stores pressurized water and plays a crucial role in reducing how often your pump needs to run. When a faucet is turned on or a toilet is flushed, the tank provides water from its reserve instead of forcing the pump to start every single time. Without this buffer, your pump would cycle on and off constantly—often referred to as "short-cycling"—which leads to excessive wear and tear. Over time, this can burn out the motor, reduce efficiency, and significantly shorten the pump’s lifespan.
Proper installation of the well tank is essential for preventing these issues. At Cliff Cummings Water Services, we take the time to make sure every aspect of the installation is done right—from selecting the right tank size for your household water use, to ensuring pressure settings are properly calibrated, and making sure the tank is positioned securely and operates with the correct internal air pressure. If any part of the installation is rushed or done incorrectly, you could end up with inconsistent water pressure, a waterlogged tank, or damage to your system.
A properly installed well tank not only protects your pump but also contributes to energy savings and better overall system performance. When everything is working as it should, your pump runs less frequently, your water pressure remains stable, and the entire system lasts longer with fewer repairs. That means fewer headaches, lower maintenance costs, and greater peace of mind.
At Cliff Cummings Water Services, we believe in doing the job right the first time. If you're unsure about the condition of your current well tank, or you're planning to replace or upgrade your system, our experienced team is here to help. We’ll evaluate your needs, recommend the best solution, and ensure every part of your water system is working efficiently and safely.
