Understanding the Importance of Water Flow Testing for Your Well

Water flow testing is the process of measuring the rate at which water moves through a system. Generally measured in gallons per minute, this method is important to assess the efficiency of water sources like wells.

The right water flow tester helps with ensuring sufficient water supply as well as identifying damage before things get bad.

How Water Flow Testing Works

Water flow testing involves the following steps:

First, prepare the well and ensure that the water system has no obstruction that could deter water flow.
Then, attach the well’s outlet to the water flow test kit; it may be a pipe or a faucet connected to the well.
Start running the water and make sure that the flow is steady.
While that’s happening, keep your eyes trained on the water flow testing kit.
Record the results from the tester and determine the flow rate. Then, analyze the data to see if the flow rate meets your needs.

Why Water Well Flow Rate Testing Matters

Understanding the water well flow rate is important to ensure that the household or industry has a constant water supply. Knowing the flow rate will allow one to manage the daily demands and ensure that all pumps work efficiently.

It can also help determine whether the equipment is being overworked since a low rating can damage the pipes. So, for long-term efficiency, it is important to get the readings off a water flow test kit.

Choosing the Right Water Flow Test Kit

Here are tips for choosing the right water flow test kit:

Check whether the flow test kit is compatible with the specific well you need it for.
Ensure the water flow test kit is easy to use and the readings are clear.
Choose a brand known for precision so you don’t get unreliable results.
Make sure that the kit is durable.

The Domestic Well Testing Act (ORS 448.271) requires that all homes using a well be tested for bacteria, nitrate, and arsenic before the real estate transaction process can be completed.
