			COMMON PROBLEM	RECOMMENDATIONS
			Unpleasant Odor	Your well might need to be chlorinated due to contamination in your well water system. Call us to get a free estimate for this service. Another possible cause for the unpleasant odor may be due to a bad magnesium rod in your hot water heater which may admit a "rotten eggs" smell.
			Poor Water Pressure	Check the air in your pressure tank. Typical air pressure should be at 30-40 lbs depending on your switch. In the event the air pressure is low, the pump is cycling more often and the pressure would decrease. Also, check the bypass in softener for blockage. Softeners have the tendency to create blockage in the bypass valves from excess mineral buildup. Another problem causing poor water pressure could be from a bad pump which would need to be replaced. Call us to get a free estimate on inspection of this problem.

			High Unexplainable Electric Bill	Call for an inspection to investigate a possible hole in the drop pipe or underground discharge in exterior part of well.
