Well Water Maintenance Tips Every BC Homeowner Should Know

For BC homeowners, keeping your drinking water safe and reliable is essential. Fall is the perfect time for well water maintenance, ensuring your system is ready for winter. Proper care not only prevents costly repairs but also guarantees that your water remains clean and safe for your family. At EDS Pumps & Water Treatment, we provide professional water system inspections across the Fraser Valley to keep your well operating at its best.

Why Fall Is the Best Time for Well Water Maintenance

Fall is the ideal season for well water maintenance and water system inspections. Cooler temperatures, heavy rainfall, and leaf litter can affect your well and overall water quality. Scheduling maintenance now allows you to:

• Prevent freezing damage to pipes and pumps during winter
• Identify small problems before they become costly emergencies
• Maintain safe, clean drinking water throughout the season

Think of it as a seasonal tune-up for your water system and easier to handle now than during the cold, wet months ahead. Learn more about our fall Water System Inspections at EDS Pumps & Water Treatment.

Signs Your Well Needs Attention

Watch for these signs that your well may require professional water system inspection:

• Drop in water pressure or slower flow
• Cloudy, discolored, or smelly water
• Strange taste, like earthy or sulfur notes
• Stains on sinks, bathtubs, or laundry
• Noises or frequent cycling in pumps or pressure tanks

If you notice any of these, it’s time to contact EDS Pumps & Water Treatment for a thorough inspection.

Key Components of Fall Well Water Maintenance

A professional water system inspection covers all critical areas:

• Visual Inspection: Wellhead, casing, and surrounding area
• Flow & Pressure Check: Ensures consistent water supply
• Water Quality Testing: Bacteria, nitrates, hardness, and metals
• Pump & Check Valve Assessment: Ensures pumps and valves operate efficiently
• Electrical System Check: Wiring, breakers, and control panels
• Filter & Treatment System Review: Softener salt levels, UV systems, and cartridges
• Winterization: Protects pipes, pumps, and outdoor components from freezing

During every inspection, EDS Pumps & Water Treatment service techs complete a comprehensive checklist and leave it with the customer, so you know exactly what was checked and any recommendations.

Common Issues to Watch For

Even with regular maintenance, issues can arise:

• Sediment or mineral buildup in pumps or filters
• Surface water runoff introducing leaves, soil, or debris near the well
• Worn-out components in pressure tanks or valves
• Electrical failures in the pump system

Addressing these early through professional well water maintenance saves time, money, and stress.
