How to use these results
The troubleshooter matches common symptoms to the causes well contractors see most often. It can help you describe the problem clearly and avoid unsafe guesswork, but it can’t test your system. Treat the results as a starting point for a conversation with a professional.
Stay safe: Well pumps typically run on 240 volts. Never open the control box, the pressure switch cover, the well cap, or the electrical panel, and never bypass a breaker or safety device. If a breaker trips again after one reset, leave it off.
