When to Change Your Well Pump Sediment Filter

January 6, 2022 By Brent D. Hershey 1 Comment

If your home gets water from a well, a sediment filter can remove contaminants before the water reaches the tap. Since water that comes from a well typically contains more contaminants than city water, a filter used with a well needs to be replaced more often. If you own a house with a well, it’s essential to know when to replace your well pump sediment filter so your family can have clean, healthy water and consistent water pressure. 

How Often You Should Replace Your Well Pump Sediment Filter

You should install a new filter about every three months. Factors such as where you live, the quality of the water coming from the well, the amount of water your family uses, and the type of filter you have can influence how often you need to change the filter.   

A filter that is filled with sediment can’t allow water to pass through as quickly as it should. If your water pressure is lower than it usually is, that can be a sign that your filter is clogged and needs to be replaced. You may also notice that your water has an unusual color, odor, or taste.

Get Professional Help with a Water Problem

If you have noticed a change in your water pressure or quality, it may be because your well pump sediment filter is clogged, or there may be another reason for the problem. You can replace your filter yourself. If that doesn’t cause things to improve, there may be another issue that needs to be diagnosed and fixed by a professional. 

In that case, you can contact Tri-County Water Services. We will dispatch one of our technicians to your home to conduct a thorough inspection. Once we have figured out the source of the issue, we can figure out an appropriate solution and make any necessary repairs. 

A problem with your home’s water supply can have a direct impact on your family’s health and wellbeing. If you have noticed signs of a problem or suspect that there may be an issue, don’t wait to take action. Call Tri-County Water Services today at (610) 857-1740 to schedule an appointment.
