Terms of Use

These terms apply to your use of Well Pump Handbook, published by the publisher of Well Pump Handbook. By using the site you agree to them.

Educational information only

Our guides, calculators and cost ranges are general educational information about private well systems. They are not professional advice, an inspection, a diagnosis of your system, or a quote. Well systems differ, and conditions on site can change everything. Always follow the manuals for your own equipment, local codes and the advice of a licensed professional who has seen your system.

Your safety

Well systems involve electricity, pressurized vessels, deep water and heavy equipment. You are responsible for deciding what you do yourself. Don't perform work you're not qualified for, and don't do any work described as professional-only on this site. Turn off power before working near pump equipment.

No professional relationship

Using the site or contacting us doesn't create a contractor, consultant or other professional relationship.

Accuracy

We work hard to keep information accurate and sourced, but we can't guarantee it's complete, current or error-free. Manufacturers change specifications and prices change constantly. If you find an error, please tell us.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, and we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.
