Why do I suddenly have no water?
Common causes are a tripped breaker, a failed pressure switch, a failed pump, or lightning damage. Check the breaker and pressure gauge, then request service.
How much does it cost to replace a well pump in Ocala?
Submersible pump replacement commonly runs around $1,000 to $3,500 depending on depth and pump size. See our cost guide.
Why does my pump keep turning on and off?
Rapid cycling usually means a waterlogged pressure tank or a pressure switch problem. Fix it quickly, because short-cycling wears out pumps.
Why does my water smell like rotten eggs?
That's usually hydrogen sulfide, which is common in Florida groundwater. Testing and the right treatment system can remove it.
Do I need a permit for a new well?
Yes. New wells in Florida require a permit before construction (in Marion County it's issued locally under the water management district's delegation), and wells must generally be built by a Florida-licensed water well contractor.
How often should I test my well water?
The Florida Department of Health recommends testing for bacteria and nitrate at least once a year, and testing again after flooding or any work on the well.
