Well Pumps & Pressure Systems in Manitoba
Submersible pump installation, replacement, and service for rural properties throughout Stonewall, Winnipeg, and the Interlake region
Keep Your Water Flowing
For rural homeowners around Stonewall, Teulon, Warren, and the surrounding Interlake region, a functioning well pump is essential. When your pump fails, you have no water—no showers, no toilets, no cooking. Patterson Mechanical provides prompt, professional well pump services to get your water flowing again.
Since 2011, we've helped hundreds of rural Manitoba families with their well systems. Whether you need an emergency pump replacement or want to upgrade an aging system, our experienced team delivers reliable solutions.
New Well Pump Installations
Whether you're building a new home, replacing a failed pump, or upgrading an aging system, Patterson Mechanical provides complete well pump installations. The photo shows one of our technicians installing a new submersible pump with a pitless adapter—the standard setup for Manitoba wells that keeps the water line below the frost line.
A proper installation includes:
- Pitless adapter: Connects the submersible pump to your home's water line below frost depth, allowing pump removal without excavation
- Submersible pump: Sized correctly for your well depth, water demand, and household size
- Drop pipe: Durable pipe connecting the pump to the pitless adapter
- Electrical connections: Proper wiring from the pump to your pressure switch and control box
- Pressure tank: Sized appropriately to reduce pump cycling and maintain consistent pressure
- Pressure switch: Set to optimal cut-in and cut-out pressures for your system

Signs Your Well Pump Needs Attention
Don't wait for a complete failure. Call us if you notice:
- Pump running constantly or cycling on and off frequently
- Reduced water pressure throughout your home
- Sputtering or air in your water lines
- Unusually high electricity bills (pump running inefficiently)
- Dirty or sandy water (pump may be failing)
- No water at all (emergency—call immediately)
Pressure Tank Systems
Your pressure tank works with your pump to maintain consistent water pressure and reduce pump cycling. A waterlogged tank or failed bladder causes the pump to cycle excessively, shortening its life and wasting electricity.
We install properly sized pressure tanks and set pressure switches to optimal levels for your household's water needs. Upgrading to a larger tank can provide better pressure and longer pump life.
Emergency Well Service
We understand that losing water is a genuine emergency, especially in cold weather when pipes can freeze. Patterson Mechanical provides emergency well pump service throughout our service area. When you call with a no-water emergency, we prioritize your call and work to restore your water as quickly as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do well pumps last?
A quality submersible pump typically lasts 10-15 years, though some last longer with good water quality and proper sizing. Jet pumps may need replacement sooner. Regular maintenance and addressing small issues early extends pump life.
My pump keeps turning on and off. What's wrong?
Rapid cycling usually indicates a waterlogged pressure tank (the bladder has failed) or a pressure switch issue. This is hard on the pump and should be addressed promptly. We can diagnose and fix the problem quickly.
Can you work on any well pump?
We work on most residential well systems, including submersible and jet pumps of various makes. For very deep wells or specialized systems, we'll let you know if you need a specialist. Most residential systems are within our expertise.
