Frequently Asked Questions

How deep should irrigation wells be?

The depth of irrigation wells isn’t a “one size fits all” number. It really comes down to the geology under your feet and how much water your crops actually need. Some shallow wells work fine for small plots.

But most productive agricultural wells need to go deeper to tap into stable aquifers that won’t dip during a dry spell. At Bruce MacKay Pump & Well Service, Inc., we look at your specific acreage and soil to find the exact depth where you can get a reliable flow without spending more than you need to on drilling.

What causes low water pressure in irrigation systems?

If you notice your sprinklers losing their reach, the reason is usually a mismatch or a blockage in your well pump irrigation system. It could be something simple like a clogged filter or a pinhole leak.

Or it could be a sign that the pump motor is damaged or the pressure tank is losing its charge. At Bruce MacKay Pump & Well Service, Inc., we specialize in tracking down these pressure issues quickly so you don’t have to deal with dry patches in the middle of a heatwave.

How much water does an irrigation well produce?

The output of your well irrigation pump depends entirely on the GPM (gallons per minute) your well can sustain without overworking the aquifer. A well for a small vineyard might only need to push 20 GPM.

But a large-scale hay operation might need 500 GPM or more. Bruce MacKay Pump & Well Service, Inc. provides systems as per your peak demand, ensuring that your pump is sized perfectly to deliver the volume you need without dewatering your source.

How often should irrigation systems be inspected?

How often should irrigation systems be inspected?
Think of your well and irrigation system like a tractor. You wouldn’t run it all season without checking the oil. Bruce MacKay Pump & Well Service, Inc. recommends a professional tune-up at least once a year, usually in early spring.

Checking your electrical connections, pressure settings, and filtration now can prevent a major irrigation well repair in the summer season. We provide these check-ups to help you find small issues before they turn into expensive, crop-threatening emergencies.
