Well Pump Installation in Maryland

Proper well pump sizing is more complex than it appears. The pump must be matched to the well's yield, the depth of the water table, the household's peak demand, and the distance from the well to the house. An undersized pump won't meet demand. An oversized pump short-cycles, wearing out faster and causing pressure fluctuations.

Maryland's water quality is a critical factor in pump selection. In areas with high iron content — common throughout Calvert County, Anne Arundel County, and Charles County — we recommend pump materials and configurations that are more resistant to iron-related wear. We also assess whether water treatment equipment should be installed before the pump sees the water.

Every new pump installation includes a properly sized pressure tank, correctly set pressure switch, and a thorough electrical inspection. We also test water quality at the time of installation to identify any treatment needs.
