Well Pump Ocala is a full-service well pump company serving homes across Ocala and Marion County. We install, replace, and repair every part of a private well system, from submersible and jet pumps to pressure tanks, control boxes, and pressure switches, and we drill new wells and treat problem water when that is what a home needs. As a licensed and insured Florida well contractor, we handle the whole system, not just one piece of it.
Most calls start the same way: no water, weak pressure, or water that suddenly looks or smells wrong. Instead of guessing, we test the pump, the tank, the switch, and the well itself to find the real cause, then give you a firm price before any work begins. From a quick switch or tank fix to a full pump replacement or a brand-new well, you get one honest answer and one crew that sees it through. Marion County wells pull from the Floridan Aquifer, so hard water and summer power surges put extra strain on equipment, and we account for that in everything we install and repair.
If your well is doing any of these, we can tell you why and fix it.
Nothing from any faucet usually points to a failed pump, a tripped breaker or pressure switch, or a control box knocked out by a power surge. We find the real cause fast and get your water back.
Weak flow can mean a waterlogged pressure tank, a clogged intake, a worn pump, or scale from hard water. We test the whole system to pinpoint it instead of swapping parts and hoping.
A pump that clicks on and off every few seconds is almost always a pressure tank that has lost its air charge or a failing pressure switch. Left alone, the rapid starts burn out the motor.
That sulfur smell is hydrogen sulfide in the water, common on Marion County wells. The right treatment clears the odor and protects your pump and plumbing from corrosion.
Orange or brown stains on fixtures and laundry come from iron in well water. We treat it at the source so it stops spreading through the house.
If your well draws air or sputters during dry spells, the water table may have dropped below the pump. We can lower the pump, deepen the well, or drill a new one.
Installation, replacement, and repair, plus pressure tanks, well drilling, and water treatment.
When a well pump quits, the problem is not always the pump. We start with the parts that fail most often: the pressure switch that tells the pump when to run, the control box or capacitor that starts a submersible motor, the pressure tank that may have lost its air charge, and the wiring and breaker feeding the system. Many no-water calls turn out to be an inexpensive switch or a tripped breaker rather than a failed pump, and we would rather find that than sell you a replacement you do not need.
For repairs that do reach the pump itself, we pull submersible units from the casing, test the motor and the drop pipe, and replace worn check valves, torque arrestors, or wiring as needed. We carry common pumps, switches, and tank parts on the truck so most repairs finish the same day, and every repair comes with a firm price before we start. If a pump is near the end of its life, we tell you honestly so you can weigh a repair against a replacement.
If your home is on a new well or you are moving off city water, we handle the full installation from sizing to start-up. Choosing the right pump means matching the well depth, the water table, and your household demand to the correct horsepower and flow rate, then pairing it with a properly sized pressure tank so the system runs efficiently instead of cycling itself to death. We size every installation for the specific well, not a one-size guess.
A complete installation includes the pump, drop pipe, safety rope, wiring, a pitless adapter at the casing, the pressure switch and gauge, and the pressure tank and fittings at the house. We set the pump at the right depth, wire it to code, and test pressure and flow before we leave. As a licensed Florida well contractor, we also pull the permits Marion County requires so the job is inspected and done right.
Most well pumps last for years, but age, sand, hard water, and power surges eventually take their toll. When a pump is failing you usually see the warning signs first: dropping pressure, air spitting from faucets, higher power bills from a motor that runs too long, or a pump that short-cycles. We confirm the pump is the real problem before recommending a replacement, so you are not paying to swap a part that still works.
When replacement is the right call, we pull the old pump, inspect the drop pipe and wiring, and install a new submersible or jet pump sized for your well and your water use. We replace worn check valves, torque arrestors, and corroded fittings at the same time so the new pump is not fighting old parts. Upgrading an undersized or outdated pump usually means stronger pressure, quieter operation, and a lower electric bill.
The pressure tank is what keeps your pump from running every time you open a faucet. Inside is a bladder that holds a cushion of air; when that bladder fails or the tank loses its charge, the pump switches on and off rapidly, a problem called short-cycling that quickly wears out the motor and the switch. If your pump hums on and off every few seconds, the tank is usually the cause.
We test the tank's air charge and bladder, and when a tank is shot we replace it with a correctly sized unit matched to your pump. A right-sized tank cuts the number of pump starts, steadies your water pressure, and extends the life of the pump you already own. We set the air pre-charge to your switch settings and verify the whole system cycles the way it should before we finish.
When an existing well runs dry, collapses, or no longer meets a home's needs, a new well is sometimes a better long-term answer than chasing repairs on a failing one. We drill residential water wells across Marion County, siting and sizing each well for the local geology and your household demand. Because Marion County sits over the Floridan Aquifer, well depth and casing choices matter, and we drill to reach a reliable, clean water zone.
A complete well project includes drilling, casing, the submersible pump and pressure system, and the permits and water testing Florida requires. We coordinate the whole process so you deal with one contractor from the first bore to the first glass of water. Whether you are building new, replacing an old shallow well, or adding a well to drop a city water bill, we walk you through the options and costs before anything starts.
Clean flow is only half the job; the water itself matters. Marion County wells commonly carry hard water from the limestone aquifer, iron that stains fixtures and laundry, and hydrogen sulfide that produces a rotten-egg smell. Left untreated, hard water also builds scale that shortens the life of your pump, pressure tank, and water heater.
We test your water and match the treatment to what it actually contains, whether that is a softener for hardness, an iron filter, or a system to remove sulfur odor. Treating the water at the source protects your plumbing and appliances and gives you water that is cleaner to drink, cook, and bathe with. We can add treatment to an existing well system or build it into a new installation.
A quick primer so you know what you have and what the right call is.
Private wells run on one of two pump types. A submersible pump sits deep inside the well casing and pushes water up from below, and it is the most common choice for the deeper wells found across Marion County. A jet pump sits above ground, usually in a well house or garage, and pulls water up by suction, which works best on shallower wells. Submersibles are quieter, more efficient, and longer lived because they stay cool underwater; jet pumps are easier to reach and service. Knowing which one you have tells us where to look first and what parts the job will need.
Not every pump problem calls for a new pump. If a pump is relatively young and the issue is a switch, a capacitor, a check valve, or a waterlogged tank, a repair is usually the smart, affordable fix. Replacement makes more sense when a pump is near the end of its service life, has failed more than once, is badly undersized, or has been damaged by sand or a power surge. We give you the honest numbers both ways so you can decide with the full picture instead of a guess.
A well pump is what turns a well in the ground into running water at the house, and for homes across Ocala and Marion County it is one of the smartest systems you can own. Whether you are putting in a brand-new well or upgrading an aging setup, a properly installed pump pays you back every day in lower bills, better water, and control over your own supply.
A private well on a good pump means you are not tied to a municipal water system or its monthly bill, rate hikes, or usage restrictions. The water is yours, drawn straight from the aquifer under your property, and it keeps flowing whether or not city service is available.
A pump sized to your well and household, paired with the right pressure tank, delivers steady flow to every fixture, even when the shower, dishwasher, and irrigation are all running. Modern pumps hold pressure far better than an undersized or worn-out unit, so you stop living with weak, surging water.
Marion County draws from the Floridan Aquifer, where wells run deep and the water is hard. We size and set each pump for that depth and water chemistry, and we can pair it with treatment from day one, so the system is matched to local conditions instead of fighting them.
A quality submersible pump, installed correctly, runs quietly and efficiently for years and adds real value to a rural or well-served property. Doing the installation right the first time, with the correct pump, tank, and wiring, is what keeps that investment paying off instead of turning into repeat service calls.
However you come to it, a new well pump is an investment in reliable water for your home. We help you choose the right system, install it to code with the permits Marion County requires, and stand behind the work long after the water is flowing.

What moves the price: well depth, the pump type and horsepower, the pressure tank, wiring and the control box, county permits, and whether you add water treatment. A shallow jet-pump repair sits at the low end, while a deep Floridan Aquifer well sits at the high end.
These are planning ranges from current Florida pricing, not quotes. We give you a firm, written price after we diagnose your system on site, and the estimate is always free.
Straight answers from our service calls across Marion County.
Most well pump repairs in the Ocala area run between $150 and $1,500, depending on what failed. A pressure switch or control box is on the low end, while pulling the pump or replacing a pressure tank costs more. We diagnose the system first and give you a firm price before any work, and the estimate is free. If a repair would cost more than about half of a replacement, we tell you so you can make the smarter long-term call.
Common warning signs are no water at all, pressure that drops or surges, air spitting from the faucets, a pump that runs constantly or clicks on and off every few seconds, dirty or sandy water, and a jump in your electric bill from a motor that runs too long. Any of these means it is time to have the system checked before it quits completely.
Yes. No water is an emergency, so we answer the phone 24/7 and keep common pumps, switches, and tank parts on the truck. Most Ocala and Marion County repairs are finished the same day you call.
Central Florida's summer lightning and the power surges that come with it are hard on well equipment. A surge can trip a breaker, fry a control box or capacitor, or damage the pressure switch, which leaves you with no water even though the pump itself may be fine. We find exactly what the storm took out and replace only what needs it.
Yes. We service both the submersible pumps set deep in the well casing and the above-ground jet pumps used on shallower wells, along with the pressure tanks, switches, and control boxes that go with them. Tell us what you have, or we will identify it on site.
A good rule is the 50 percent rule: if the repair costs less than about half of a new pump and the pump is not near the end of its life, repair is usually the smart choice. If the pump is old, has failed more than once, or was damaged by sand or a surge, replacement is the better value. We give you honest numbers both ways so you can decide.
A rotten-egg smell is hydrogen sulfide gas, and orange or brown stains come from iron, both common in Marion County well water. Neither is something your pump can fix on its own. We test the water and match the right treatment, such as a softener, an iron filter, or a sulfur removal system, to clear it at the source.
Yes. We drill new residential water wells across Marion County and handle the permits and water testing Florida requires, so the job is inspected and done to code. If your old well has run dry or failed, we walk you through whether a new pump, a deeper well, or a brand-new well is the right answer.
