Water Systems Specialties, A Regional Water Authority Company

  • How do I know if I need a new well pump?

    Several signs may indicate the need for a new well pump. These include experiencing no water or low water pressure, air sputtering from faucets, your pump running constantly, unusually high electric bills, or dirty or discolored water. To confirm whether a replacement is necessary, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection with Water Systems Specialties.
  • What types of well pumps are available?

    There are various types of well pumps available to suit different needs. Submersible pumps are installed deep inside the well and are ideal for deeper wells. Jet pumps are mounted above ground and are suitable for shallow or moderately deep wells. Constant pressure systems provide steady water pressure similar to city water. Our team will assist you in selecting the most appropriate option based on your well depth and specific water requirements.
  • How long does installation take?

    In most cases, well pump installations can be completed within a single day. However, the exact duration may vary depending on the complexity of the system and specific site conditions.
  • How much does a well pump installation cost?

    The cost of a well pump installation varies based on several factors, including the type and size of the pump, the depth of the well, and the required labor and materials. We provide free, transparent estimates before commencing any work to ensure you're fully informed about the costs involved.
  • Do you offer emergency installation services?

    Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency services for well pump failures. Our goal is to restore your water supply as quickly as possible to minimize disruption to your daily life.
  • Why do I need well water treatment?

    Well water often contains minerals, bacteria, or contaminants that can affect its taste, odor, and safety. Treatment systems improve water quality by removing hardness (calcium and magnesium), iron and manganese, sulfur (rotten egg smell), sediment and dirt, as well as bacteria and other microorganisms. These systems ensure that your water is clean, safe, and pleasant to use.
  • What types of treatment systems do you install?

    We install a range of water treatment systems to address various water quality issues. These include water softeners, iron and sulfur filters, UV disinfection systems, reverse osmosis (RO) units, and whole-house filtration systems. Each system is customized to address your specific water quality concerns and household size.
  • Do treatment systems require maintenance?

    Yes, regular maintenance is essential for ensuring that your water treatment system continues to operate efficiently. We recommend following the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance schedules to keep your system in optimal condition.
  • Can you treat water for the whole house?

    Yes, we specialize in whole-house water treatment systems that provide clean, safe water at every tap in your home. This ensures high-quality water for all purposes, including drinking, bathing, laundry, and more.
  • What is radon and why is it dangerous?

    Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that forms in the ground. It can enter homes through foundation cracks and accumulate to dangerous levels. Long-term exposure to high radon concentrations is recognized as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, making it a significant health concern.
