It is sump pump season and in addition to reminding our customers that it is time to do some seasonal checks, it’s time to share some information about the brain of many pump systems, including sump pump systems. If the pump is the heart of a water system, then the float switch is the “brain” of the system. Many of our customers have pumps that need to be turned on or off automatically.

Many of our customers rely on their well or spring to provide water for their homes, gardens and commercial agriculture. One comment we frequently get is “Well and Spring water is clean and pure!” While many wells and springs in our area produce excellent quality water, the very fact that the water comes from a well or spring does not automatically make it clean and pure! In this blog we’ll explore what it means to have clean or pure water and look at the common causes of wells or springs NOT having clean or pure water.

With the falling leaves and the cooling temperatures comes the wet season for the Napa Valley.

With the dry heat we experience it is easy to forget the sump pump tucked away under a deck, garage, in a basement or crawl space. If you have a sump pump, now is the time to check and make certain it’s working! There’s nothing like going to the basement only to find you have a swimming pool with your spare couch floating around in it.

Power outages from utilities trying to reduce fire risk are becoming more common. As a result many people have no water because the well pump relies on utility power. Many people are purchasing and installing generators to ensure electricity is available during these power outages. There are several very important aspects to consider BEFORE buying a generator to power your water system.
