Watch for warning signs, including decreased water pressure, unusual noises like grinding or rattling, frequent cycling on and off, visible leaks, or complete failure to start. A sudden increase in your water bill might indicate inefficiency or leaks.
If your sprinkler heads sputter or provide inconsistent coverage, your pump may be failing. Consider replacement if your pump is 10 to 15 years old, especially if it's requiring increasingly frequent repairs.
Most sprinkler pumps last approximately 15 years before requiring more frequent repairs. When your pump reaches 10 to 15 years of service, it's wise to begin planning for replacement. Regular maintenance, proper winterization, and addressing minor issues promptly can help maximize your pump's operational life. Environmental factors like water quality and usage patterns also influence longevity.
Higher-quality pumps often provide better reliability and performance, potentially justifying their increased initial cost. Premium models may include improved components and longer warranty coverage.
For larger properties or systems that operate frequently, investing in a better-quality pump can reduce long-term maintenance expenses and provide more consistent performance. Consider your specific irrigation needs and expected usage when evaluating pump options.
Emergency replacements often include premium labor rates of approximately $200 per hour compared to standard rates of $50 to $110 per hour. For a standard two-hour installation, this represents an additional $180 to $300 in labor costs alone.
Emergency situations also limit your selection options to immediately available models, potentially affecting both price and suitability. Whenever possible, plan replacements in advance to avoid these premium charges.
