Well flow testing in Oregon
A flow test measures what the well produces on the day of the test: gallons per minute, how far the water level drops while the pump runs, and how fast it recovers. It is a snapshot of the well on that day.
What is measured
Static water level
Before pumping, in feet.
Pump rate
In gallons per minute.
Drawdown
While pumping.
Recovery
After the pump stops.
What you get
A written report you can hand to a buyer, seller or lender.
What’s in our report
- Gallons per minute, drawdown and recovery
- Estimated yearly cost to run the pump
- Pump amps compared to the pump’s rating
- Voltage at the pump
- Watts and kWh used during the test
- A full equipment inspection, with the findings in the report. See what we inspect.
A flow rate tells you about the well. These readings tell you about the pump and what it costs to own. (Show the four meter lines above once the meter is in use.)
If the pump isn’t running
We offer troubleshooting, service and repair as needed. We also offer generator service and temporary pump sets if necessary.
