What's the Warranty on my Well Pump?

 We are often asked what the warranty period on a submersible well pump is. All submersible manufacturer's offer a 1 YR WARRANTY on submersible pumps and motor product. Check out this quick information sheet from Pentair Products: 


Many manufacturers have specific agreements with installers or dealers like us at Heritage Well to offer an extended warranty for specific periods of time. These warranties are subject to review from the manufacturer and exclude failure due to electrical, water quality and heat related issues. 

Unfortunately, manufacturers like Grundfos, Goulds, Franklin and Pentair have had the upper hand in these agreements and most recently have regularly denied warranty replacements for many of our clients due to issues listed above. As a result, here at Heritage Well we have been transitioning our clients to accept what is formally written from the manufacturers and accepting what is provided which is a 1 YR manufacturer warranty in the "bumper to bumper" fashion you might think about similar to a vehicle warranty. 

Due to these issues with warranty claims, we have transitioned all of our installations and quotes to include pump protection to eliminate premature submersible and booster pump failures to protect our clients investments. There are several options for pump protection on the market and we discuss them all in detail here but include product provided by Little Fuse, Franklin, Electric Safety Floats, Low-Pressure Cut-off switches and VFDs. These products offer a higher level of protection to your equipment from incoming electrical issues, rapid cycling and run-dry scenarios that reduce the life of your equipment.

What will my new pump look like when its done?

 Often we are asked what will my new pump installation look like? Most of what gets installed in your newly drilled well is below the surface and you aren't able to see it but topside there are few things you should see. Here's a recent example of one of our new pump installations in a newly drilled well: First things first, your new well should have an outer casing liner coming out of the ground. The material of this casing is typically steel but we do see some companies who install a PVC conductor casing, check with your local county office for requirements for your area. Depending on the county in which your well was drilled the county requirements might differ. Some counties require a minimum of 12" above the cement slab, other counties have no requirement at all as to how high the casing should be. It's best to check with your local county Department of Environmental Health for standards specific to your area.  The same set of rules applies to the cement slab inst

What will my well look like when you are done?

 We often get asked what a completed well looks like. To tell the truth, it doesn't look like more than a piece of steel coming out of the ground with a cement slab around it. Here's a quick picture:  The real magic in well construction is all below the surface. Well drilling is an art, science and geology lesson all wrapped into one tight space! Well Drilling, especially in Southern California can be very challenging and there are a lot of unknowns. As you might know topography and geology in California are very diverse due to our unique position in the world. This means that formations, strata, and material vary greatly depending on your location.  An experienced drilling company should have an army of experience, knowledge and records to be prepared for your drilling project. They should be able to accurately tell you what to expect in your drilling project and be prepared with the tooling and material to make it happen. Here at Heritage Well our family has been drilling in
