Well equipment inspection
Every flow test includes an equipment inspection. It’s its own check, with its own report. Here’s what we look at.
What we check
Wellhead
- Well cap: tight, sealed, with a screened vent
- Casing: height above ground and its condition
- Ground slopes away from the well
- Wiring at the cap, and whether it’s in conduit
Electrical
- Breaker and disconnect
- Control box, on 3-wire pumps
- Pump amps and volts compared to the pump’s nameplate
Pressure system
- Pressure switch: cut-in and cut-out settings, and the contacts
- Pressure tank: air pre-charge, and whether it’s waterlogged
- Pressure gauge works
- Relief valve
- Tank tee, fittings and check valves, for leaks
How it operates
- Pump cycling: short cycling and run times
- Pressure holds when no water is running
If the property has them
- Holding tank and booster pump
- Water treatment equipment: filters, softener, UV
- Pitless adapter, if it can be seen
