The heart of any water well is its pumping system. Pick the wrong pump, and you’ll face early motor burn-out and erratic water pressure. Water Boys provides end-to-end solutions—from sizing to repair water fixtures—for homeowners across Lafayette and neighboring parishes.

Pump Types

Submersible (Deep-Well)

• Works below 25 ft
• Quiet, self-cooled by water

Jet Pump

• Ideal for shallow wells up to 25 ft
• Surface-mounted and easy to service

Multistage

• High flow for farms or commercial sites
• Consistent pressure at long distances

Right-Sizing Your Pump

• Calculate peak demand (total GPM).
• Measure static and dynamic water levels.
• Add head loss from pipe friction.

Rule of thumb: add a 10 % safety margin for future upgrades.

Pressure Switch & Pressure Tank

Common ranges: 30/50 psi or 40/60 psi
• A properly sized pressure tank can cut pump cycling by 70 %
• Water Boys installs diaphragm tanks from 32 to 85 gal, backed by a 5-year warranty
