How water pumps works
W.S. Heitman Drilling & Pumps installs complete systems. We use only high quality components – not the parts you can buy at your local “big box” discount retailer. The difference is that a pumping system installed by W. S. Heitman Drilling & Pumps is dependable, fully guaranteed and installed by our experienced technicians.

A submersible water pump is comprised of a series of small impellers, stacked horizontally on top of each other. When activated, the impellers rotate at approximately 3,450 RPM moving the well water up the drop line and into the pressure tank. Because the water pump operates electrically, wires must run down into the well and be connected to the pump. All wiring connections are permanently sealed to avoid voltage leaks and short circuits. Torque arrestors are installed above the pump to prevent wires from twisting and chafing during pump operation. The torque arrestor extends the life of the pump by preventing short circuits that would be caused if the wire coatings were compromised.
