What changes in Vilano Beach
The freshwater lens under Vilano is thin, and an irrigation pump that draws harder than it can supply pulls seawater up through it. The symptom is sprinklers spraying brine and a lawn dying in patches, and the instinct is to blame the pump. The pump is fine; it is oversized. A conductivity reading confirms it, and a smaller pump matched to the lot is the fix.
The rest of the island's faults are salt-air corrosion on the switch, box and wiring, replaced in marine-grade parts when they go.
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 Vilano Beach
The sprinkler water turned salty. Is the well ruined?
Usually not. The pump is too large for the lens. Rested and re-equipped with a smaller pump, the lens recovers.
Can a Vilano pump be serviced the same day?
Above-ground parts, yes. A pump swap is a short visit on a shallow well.
