Most of the time a well pump will provide signals that it may be nearing the end of its life. If you have an aging pump or you know your well pump is 20 or more years old, watch for the following signs that it may be going bad.
Your water appears dirty, or you can see sediment floating in it.
The water pressure in your home has become inconsistent.
Creaking or clicking noises are coming from the pressure tank.
You experience frequent air spurts whenever you turn on a faucet.
Sudden hot water from a faucet or shower when a toilet is flushed.
Your water smells foul or like rotten eggs.
The pump has been running more frequently and/or your electric bills are unusually high.
