How Your Well Brings Water to Your Home

December 17, 2018 by

It’s easy to misunderstand what’s happening when you turn on your faucet and water flows out. If you’re relatively new to the world of private water well ownership, then you might be wondering how a well actually delivers water to your tap and continuously replenishes itself.

Thankfully, the well water specialists at Goold Wells & Pumps are here to explain! Keep reading to find out how your well water is stored and delivered.

Ground to Tank to Tap

First things first: Your household water isn’t going straight from the ground to your kitchen sink, bathtub, or dishwasher. There’s actually an important step in the middle—your water tank. 

See, your well has a pump that takes water from the ground and delivers it to a storage tank. Water stays readily available in this tank for household use. 

Inside the storage tank, there’s an air bladder that compresses the air to a set level of pressure (usually 40 to 60 psi). This is where your household plumbing gets its water pressure. Without sufficient pressure, the water wouldn’t be able to move.

Now, as the pump brings water into the storage tank, the air pressure increases until it reaches its maximum psi. At this point, the pump switches off; it will switch on again once the air pressure decreases below a certain threshold (i.e., after a certain amount of water is used inside your home).

This cycle repeats over and over as you go about your daily activities. Pretty cool, right?

If you have any other burning questions about your well water system, don’t hesitate to reach out! Goold Wells & Pumps is here to help.
