How to Bleed Your Water Pump for Wells in the Ground

Cool, crisp water is a delightful drink and the essence of life. Many people still value the purity of their water and opt to stay on or use a well to obtain their household's water rather than connect to the city's supply. However, pipes need to be able to bleed, or drain, excess water into the surrounding ground to relieve pressure or disperse water. Draining the holes, when they are not self-draining, is simple and should be done every few months.

Instructions

- 1
  Ensure that the water tank is completely connected to the submersible pump in the well.
- 2
  Examine the water tank to find either the valve in the bottom of the tank or remove the plug.
- 3
  Ensure that all the water valves connected to the tank are turned off to prevent the pump from turning on while opening the valve.
- 4
  Remove the plug or unscrew the valve opening slowly at the bottom of the small water tank.
- 5
  Allow the water to completely drain until the pump begins to fill it back up. Replace the cap securely either by pressing it in or screwing it.
