Well Water Operations & Maintenance - JKA Well Drilling & Pumps

Operations & Maintenance

All well water systems require a varying degree of Operations & Maintenance (O&M) services. Some wells only need to be periodically tested, have the tanks & electrical components checked, tuned up, and replaced as necessary. Some wells require periodic cleaning, brushing, and air jetting to maintain peak production. Some filter systems require only the addition of salt in the brine tank or UV bulbs in the purification process on an annual basis, while others require weekly to monthly testing, filtration adjustment, and chemical additions.

Starting in 2021, JKA Well Drilling & Pumps will begin offering for the first time a comprehensive O&M Program to provide periodic well water system operations & maintenance that’s tuned to you and your water systems needs.
