Plumbers Diss Norfolk: Well Pump Installation | EPH

As trusted plumbers in Diss, Norfolk, EPH Services recently completed a well pump installation, fitting a pump and pipework system to provide a customer with a reliable water source for garden irrigation, particularly useful during hosepipe bans.

The installation

Our engineer Rhys carefully descended into the well to install the pump and pipework system for a customer in Diss. The work required safe access into the well structure to position the pump correctly and connect the pipework that would bring water to the surface for garden use.

The installation provides the homeowner with an independent water source, particularly valuable during periods of hosepipe restrictions when mains water use for gardens is limited.

Why a well pump system?

Well pumps offer Norfolk homeowners a sustainable alternative water source for outdoor use. During dry summers when hosepipe bans are in place, having access to well water means gardens, lawns and vegetable patches can continue to be watered without relying on mains supply.

Beyond drought periods, well water systems can reduce water bills and provide a more eco-friendly irrigation solution. For properties with existing wells, installing a pump and pipework system makes this resource accessible and practical for everyday garden maintenance.
