Installing the Right Water Well Pump for Your Home
Not every well in Butler, PA is the same, and because of that, not every pump can be the same. Different pumps are required for different depths. Choosing the right one isn’t just a matter of picking your favorite—you need the assessment of an expert plumber from Kennihan Plumbing & Heating, Inc.
- Submersible Water Pump: Although submersible water pumps can be used for both shallow and deep wells, they’re often used for deeper wells. They’re rated for depths as low as 400 feet.
- Single Drop Jet Water Pumps: These pumps use an impeller motor to suction the water up through a pipe. This process works best between short distances, hence why they should only be used in wells shallower than 25 feet.
- Double Drop Jet Water Pumps: For wells as deep as 200 feet, a double drop jet water pump may suffice. These are similar to single drop jet water pumps, but the configuration slightly differs. The jet is located much deeper down the well, while the impeller motor is situated up above.

We Can Repair or Replace Your Well Water Pump
Well water pumps are mechanical devices, and as such, they’re subject to developing issues. Luckily, getting it repaired is a small price to pay for having access to your own water supply! Some of the typical issues you might encounter with well water pumps includes:
- Leaks in the Well Pump: This can cause the well pump to leak and stop operating as it should.
- Pump Motor Issues: The motor is the driving force behind the pump. If it goes out, you don’t have a working pump. Dirt or worn parts can shut the motor down, or it may just need some extra lubrication.
- Electrical Problems: Wiring can go bad in any device, as well as issues with the electrical circuits—especially in a system that spends most of its time in or near water. If your well water pump is acting strange or malfunctioning, an electrical problem is a likely cause.
