The holiday season in Central Florida is a magical time—but even here, temperatures can dip lower than expected! If you rely on a private well system, a sudden cold snap combined with holiday travel or busy hosting can spell disaster in the form of a frozen pipe or a pump failure.
At NUCO Pump and Well Services, your trusted Central Florida well pump repair experts, we want to ensure your water is flowing reliably all season long. With over 25 years of well drilling experience, we're here to help you secure your water system before the family arrives.
🎁 Give Yourself the Gift of Peace: 3 Essential Pre-Holiday Well Checks
Before you deck the halls, take a few minutes to check these critical areas of your well system. Addressing these now is the best way to prevent a costly emergency call.
1. Insulate the Vulnerable Spots
While your well water itself is protected deep underground, the exposed pipes and above-ground components are highly susceptible to freezing damage.
-
Action Plan: Inspect all exposed pipes leading from your well to your house. Use foam pipe insulation sleeves (available at any hardware store) to cover them.
-
For Jet Pumps: If you have an above-ground jet pump, ensure its well house or enclosure is sealed and insulated. Trapping a little heat from the motor can make all the difference during a Polk County cold evening.
2. Schedule Your Preventative Well Maintenance
Increased demand from hosting large holiday parties—extra showers, more laundry, and constant dishwashing—can stress an aging or neglected well system.
-
The NUCO Solution: Schedule a well maintenance inspection. Our certified technicians will check your pressure tank and pressure switch to ensure they can handle the holiday water demand without overworking your pump, which is a leading cause of premature failure.
-
The Benefit: A quick check now can save you from a major pump failure during a long holiday weekend when emergency rates apply.
3. Test Your Water Quality (The Guest-Ready Check)
Your well water is typically pristine, but seasonal heavy rains can sometimes introduce contaminants. Plus, ensuring clean water is the best courtesy for your visiting family and friends.
-
Action Plan: If it's been a year, schedule a water well testing appointment. Knowing your water quality is safe and pure is the ultimate peace of mind.
-
The NUCO Solution: If your water tests indicate issues with iron, sulfur, or hardness, we offer comprehensive water treatment and purification systems (including water softening and whole-home filtration) to ensure your holiday cooking and bathing water is the highest quality.
