Tips for your water well

A water well is a great water source for vacation homes. After all, a water well works perfectly for mountain cabins and other vacation homes that are off the beaten path and don't have easy access to utilities. Plus, you won't have to worry about an extra utility bill each month for a home that your family doesn't use all the time.


Of course, you need to maintain any water well. You should keep these maintenance and care tips in mind for your vacation home's water well.

1. Don't Forget Annual Inspections and Water Testing
It's easy to forget about important maintenance for your second home. Additionally, you might not think that annual inspections are quite as important for a home that you don't use frequently. After all, you could wonder how your well could be worn out or damaged when it isn't used very often.

Still, to maintain your well and to keep a safe water supply for you and your family, make sure you have your well inspected at least once a year. This will help you check for mechanical issues. Have any necessary repairs done promptly.

The water from your water well should also be tested on an annual basis for safety and cleanliness. This allows you to test for harmful bacteria or other contaminants.

2. Shut the Well Down When Not in Use
If you aren't going to be using your vacation home for a while, shut down your water well for the season. This helps reduce wear and tear. Plus, you won't have to worry about wasted electricity being used to run your well pump.

Make sure to turn off your water heater and any other home systems that might use water to operate; otherwise, they could become damaged due to a lack of water from your well. Turn off your well pump and the main water line to your vacation home.

3. Install a Water Purification System
Install a water purification system in your vacation home for best results. This will help you ensure that the water from your water well is clean and safe to drink, and it can improve taste and quality, too.


Another key reason to do this is to protect your plumbing. Water might sit in toilet bowls and plumbing pipes for extended periods of time when your vacation home is not in use. If the water is not purified, minerals and other substances in the water could cause scale and buildup in your plumbing or might leave stains on your plumbing fixtures.

4. Be Prepared to Run the Tap for a Few Minutes
Even if you take good care of your vacation home's water well, expect to run your taps for a few minutes before using the water on each visit. If water stands for a long time in-between uses, it may stagnate or pick up a strange odor or taste. Allowing the water to run through your pipes for a few minutes will give you and your family access to clean, fresh water afterward.


5. Let Caretakers Know About Your Water Well
You might hire others to help with lawn care, home maintenance and other tasks for your second home. After all, you might live too far away to take care of it yourself, or you might be too busy taking care of your primary home.
