Well Flow Rate Testing

Ensure a Reliable Water Supply

A well flow rate test measures both the volume of water (gallons per minute, GPM) and the pressure (psi) that a well system can provide to a home over a sustained period. The inspector typically runs water from a fixture for a set duration—often 60 minutes or more—taking periodic readings to identify drops in flow or pressure. This process helps detect problems with the well, pump, pressure tank, or plumbing.

Why Well Flow Testing Is Essential?

  • Meets Household Demands: Ensures the water supply meets household demands; most homes require at least 3–5 GPM, and larger homes may need more.
  • Identifies Hidden Issues: Identifies issues such as inadequate well yield, pump problems, or plumbing defects before transactions or repairs.
  • Lender Requirements: Lenders often require minimum well flow rates for mortgages or real estate transfers.
  • Provides Peace of Mind: Provides confidence for buyers and peace of mind for sellers regarding water availability and system reliability.
