Complete Well Pump & Pressure System Solutions
From new installations and system upgrades to repairs, troubleshooting, and replacement, Nelson Water provides expert well system service tailored to your home, water needs, and equipment.
Well Pump & Pressure System Installation
A properly designed well pump and pressure system provides dependable water pressure based on your household's needs. Whether you're installing a system for a new well or upgrading existing equipment, the pump, pressure tank, controls, and configuration all need to work together.
We evaluate your well characteristics, household water demand, pressure requirements, and existing equipment before recommending and installing a properly sized system.
Well Pump Repair & Troubleshooting
No water, low pressure, frequent cycling, or unusual pump operation can come from several parts of a well system—not necessarily the pump itself. The pressure tank, switch, controls, plumbing, or other components may be responsible.
We diagnose the system first, identify the source of the problem, and recommend the appropriate repair rather than replacing equipment unnecessarily.
Well Pump & Pressure Tank Replacement
A worn or failing well pump or pressure tank can cause inconsistent pressure, frequent cycling, reduced performance, or complete loss of water. Replacement may be appropriate when equipment has failed, is improperly sized, or is no longer economical to repair.
We assess your existing system before recommending replacement, then select and configure appropriately sized equipment for your well and household requirements.

Well Pump & Pressure Tanks in Ottawa FAQs
Get clear answers about well pump lifespan, pressure tank replacement, low water pressure, pump cycling, system sizing, and options for improving well pressure.
How do I know if my well pump needs repair or replacement?
You may need well pump repair or replacement if you notice low or inconsistent water pressure, no water, unusual noises, frequent cycling, or a pump that runs continuously. Repair may be appropriate when the issue involves a replaceable component, while an older, severely worn, or failed pump may be better suited for replacement. Nelson Water diagnoses the complete well system before recommending the appropriate solution.
How long do well pumps last?
Well pumps typically last around 8–15 years, although some can last longer depending on the pump type, water conditions, system sizing, household usage, and how frequently the pump cycles. Proper system sizing and a functioning pressure tank can reduce excessive cycling and help extend the life of a well pump.
How long do well pressure tanks last?
Well pressure tanks typically last around 5–15 years, depending on tank quality, water conditions, system setup, and usage. Signs of an aging or failing pressure tank can include fluctuating water pressure, frequent pump cycling, unusual noises, or declining system performance. Addressing pressure tank problems can also help prevent unnecessary wear on the well pump.
Why does my well pump keep turning on and off?
A well pump that keeps turning on and off is often short cycling, which can be caused by a pressure tank problem, incorrect tank air pressure, a faulty pressure switch, plumbing leaks, or other well system issues. Because several components can cause short cycling, the system should be diagnosed before assuming the well pump needs replacement.
What causes low water pressure in a house with a well?
Low water pressure in a house with a well can be caused by a failing well pump, pressure tank or pressure switch problems, clogged filters, plumbing restrictions, changes in well yield, or an improperly configured system. Testing the pump, pressure system, and related components helps identify the actual cause before repairs or equipment changes are recommended.
What size well pump and pressure tank does my home need?
The well pump and pressure tank size your home needs depends on well depth and yield, household water demand, desired pressure, pump specifications, and the number of fixtures the system needs to supply. Nelson Water evaluates these factors to properly size the pump, pressure tank, and controls rather than selecting equipment based on household size alone.
Can I upgrade my well to provide more consistent water pressure?
Yes, you can upgrade your well system to provide more consistent water pressure, often through a constant-pressure system or improvements to the existing pump and pressure equipment. The right solution depends on your well, current equipment, household demand, and pressure requirements. Nelson Water can assess the system and recommend an appropriate configuration for more consistent pressure.
