17 Jan How Sediment Buildup Can Shorten the Life of Your Well System
Sediment buildup is one of the most overlooked threats to well systems in Southern Idaho.
Over time, sand, silt, and minerals can accumulate inside your well, pump, and plumbing—quietly reducing performance and shortening equipment life.
Where sediment comes from
Natural groundwater movement, seasonal water level changes, and aging wells can all introduce sediment into your system. Homes in Twin Falls, Burley, Rupert, and other Magic Valley areas are especially prone due to regional soil and mineral conditions.
Problems sediment causes
-
Reduced water pressure
-
Increased wear on pump components
-
Clogged pressure switches and valves
-
Damage to appliances and fixtures
-
Cloudy or gritty water
Sediment forces your pump to work harder, which increases energy use and accelerates mechanical failure.
Why early action matters
Ignoring sediment issues can lead to costly repairs or pump replacement. Fortunately, early diagnosis can often prevent major damage.
