Pumps and pressure tanksDomestic and irrigation
Pumps and pressure tanks
A pressure tank holds a small amount of water so your pump does not turn on every time you use it. A pressure tank does not cause high or low pressure. If your pump is cycling (turning on and off often or rapidly), the tank may need to be recharged with air or replaced.
Yes. We repair almost all domestic (jet) pumps and irrigation (centrifugal) pumps, plus spa and pool pumps, sub-turbine and turbine pumps.
Yes. Call us with the information on your well (depth, water level and distance to power) and we will put an estimate together for you.
Call the shop number and you will be directed to our after-hours service technician, who can come out and repair or replace your domestic water pump. After-hours rates apply.
What we do and don't doStraight answers
What we do and don't do
We would rather tell you up front than waste your afternoon. Septic pumps we sell; septic systems we do not work on.
No, we do not. We install the pump after a well driller comes in and drills the well.
No. We can sell you a new septic pump, but we are unable to work on septic systems.
We are no longer designing sprinkler systems. We can repair an existing system for you.

Sprinklers and seasons
See sprinkler system service and repair for start-ups, winterization and inspections.
Yes. We also start your system up and adjust it in the spring.
Domestic house pumps should get a yearly service check. An irrigation pump should be serviced at least every three years, or any time it is not sounding right or producing what it should. Turbine motors should be checked every couple of years.
Still have a question? Ask the shop.
