Your water well is the unsung hero of your household. You don’t think about it, except when something goes wrong. We here at King Water Wells cannot stress enough how important it is to keep up with water well maintenance to make sure it’s always there for you when you need it. What do we mean? Here are four things your water well does for you every day, which is why it’s important to keep it maintained.
Provides Water 24/7
You and your family use water all day long. You drink it, you cook with it, you clean with it, you do laundry with it, you bathe in it, and so on. Your appliances use water, too, such as your washing machine, dishwasher, and refrigerator if you have ice and water dispensers. Take one day and note every single time you and your household appliances use water; you’ll be surprised at how often that is.
Seasonal Water Needs
Spring and summer are the times people use water the most. Not only are you drinking more water to stay hydrated and likely showering more because the weather makes you feel hot and sticky, but you are also watering your garden more, washing your vehicles, filling your swimming pool (if you have one), and allowing your kids to play in the water for some summer fun. Water is crucial in the summer.
Special Water Uses
In some cases, you might have special water usage needs that require a healthy water well system ready to meet the added demand. For example, outdoor animals such as chickens, goats, horses, or other critters need plenty of water. Your outdoor vegetable gardens require irrigation if they’re big enough. Your water treatment devices might also need water as some use backwashing to treat the H2O.
Fire Prevention
Finally, what would you do if a fire was approaching your property and you couldn’t get enough water out of your garden hoses to moisten and protect your land? What would you do if you had a fire on your property? Don’t try to be a firefighter yourself; it’s better to call 9-1-1 and get your family and animals to safety. Still, firefighters will tap into their sources and possibly your water well to put the blaze out.
