Well pump repair in Mandarin on Floridan wells that have outlived two pumps

What changes in Mandarin

A Mandarin supply well has usually had its pump replaced once or twice since the house was built, and what has not been replaced is everything around it: the control box with its original capacitor, a pressure tank whose bladder has gone, a wire splice down the bore that was made twenty years ago. Those are the faults, and they are tested first because pulling a submersible to find a bad capacitor is a wasted afternoon.

Where the motor itself has failed, the amp reading says so, and the replacement is sized to the well's completion report on file with the City rather than to the pump that came out.

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 Mandarin

Why does the breaker trip when the pump starts?

A failing capacitor in the control box, a seized pump or a shorted wire in the well. Each reads differently on a meter.

How is a replacement pump sized?

From the well's depth, level and recovery on the completion report, not from the old pump.
