Well pump repair in Atlantic Beach for sprinkler wells choked with iron
Iron and tannin in the shallow zone foul the switch nipple and the foot valve, and the pump then looks dead when it is only starved.

What changes in Atlantic Beach
Atlantic Beach's irrigation wells draw water heavy with iron, and iron settles where the water is still: in the small nipple under the pressure switch, in the check valve, in the foot valve on a jet system. A switch that cannot see pressure because its nipple is packed with scale behaves exactly like a failed pump. Clearing it is a ten-minute repair that a pump replacement would not have fixed.
Where the jet pump itself has worn its impeller on grit, that is a replacement, and it is small. Call Flamingo tests before either.
How the job runs
How a pump fault is found
The pump is the last suspect, not the first. Testing runs from the breaker to the pressure switch, then the pressure tank's air charge with the pump off, then the control box, then the amp draw on the pump circuit. Each step clears a component or finds the fault, and the reading is shown before any part is replaced. Switches, gauges, tanks, control boxes, capacitors, relays, wiring, check valves and above-ground plumbing are repairs; a submersible motor that has failed electrically is a replacement, sized to the well's completion report rather than to the pump that came out.
Straight answers
Well Pump Repair questions from Atlantic Beach
The sprinkler pump runs but nothing comes out. Is it dead?
Often it has lost prime through a foot valve or a fitting, or the switch nipple is scaled. Both are repairs.
Does iron damage the pump?
Grit wears impellers over years. Scale in the switch fittings is the faster, cheaper problem.
