Well Yield & Output Testing

Ensure Your well Can Meet Your Water Needs Before You Commit to Repairs or Upgrades

Ensure Your Well Delivers What You Need

There’s nothing worse than running out of water in the middle of laundry day — or investing in an irrigation system, only to discover your well can’t keep up. Our professional Well Yield & Output Testing gives you clear, dependable data about how much water your well can reliably produce. Whether you’re expanding your home, troubleshooting low water pressure, or meeting Board of Health requirements, we’ll test the well’s recovery rate and gallons-per-minute flow to ensure it meets your property’s needs — now and into the future.

What Is a Well Yield Test?

A well yield test measures how much water your well can deliver over a set period of time, and how quickly the groundwater refills. It gives us an accurate picture of your well’s performance, reliability, and long-term sustainability.

Why It Matters:

Diagnoses low water or “dry well” symptoms
Required for many new construction and real estate sales
Ensures your system can support added bathrooms, irrigation, pools, or expansions
Helps avoid pump burnout from overdrawn wells

Our Professional Testing Process

At Kappus Well Pump Repair & Water Systems (“The Pump Man”), we use state-of-the-art testing tools to deliver reliable and detailed results:

Digital Water Level Sensor: Measures the static and dynamic water levels throughout the test
Water Flow Meter: Accurately tracks the gallons-per-minute (GPM) being delivered during the test
Data Logger: Records time-stamped data for flow rate, water drawdown, and recovery
Step-by-Step Procedure:
- - Maximum Flow Test – We run your system at full capacity for a set time (usually 1-4 hours)
  - Drawdown Measurement – We monitor how far the water level drops while pumping
  - Recovery Rate – After the pump is shut off, we track how quickly the well refills
  - Yield Calculation – We compile all measurements to determine the safe, sustainable yield
