Fulkerson Pump Service

We service and install a wide variety of residential well pump systems, including complete 4-inch submersible pumps and motors. Our installations range from shallow-set pumps to deep-set systems that require a crane for safe removal and installation.

Most residential submersible pump systems fall between ½ HP and 5 HP. We size every system based on your well depth, static water level, and household water demand to ensure reliable performance, proper water pressure, and long pump life.

 We service and install a wide variety of agricultural and ranch well pump systems ranging from 5 HP to 50 HP. Whether the job requires a 6-inch or larger submersible pump or a line shaft turbine. 

 We also service and repair pump panels and control systems from a wide variety of manufacturers, including across-the-line starters, soft starters, and VFD/variable-frequency drive panels. 

 We service and install variable frequency drives (VFDs). VFD systems are becoming the industry standard for residential, agricultural, and commercial well pump applications. These drivers provide soft-start technology that reduces motor wear. VFDs also allow system pressure to be controlled and regulated, delivering consistent, constant pressure even when water demand varies. In addition, modern VFD systems include multiple built-in safety and protection features, helping safeguard both the pump and motor.

We service and install several different styles of pressure tanks, including diaphragm tanks, bladder tanks, air-cell tanks, and galvanized tanks. Each type of tank has its own advantages, and certain applications call for specific designs depending on the system requirements.

Diaphragm pressure tanks are our preferred choice due to their efficiency, reliability, and long service life. Galvanized pressure tanks are also popular because they have no internal components. However, they can become inefficient without the use of an air-charging system to prevent the tank from waterlogging.

Storage tank systems are especially popular in areas where water comes from fractured rock formations, and well production can vary significantly or become very low at times. These systems provide a reliable buffer by storing water and regulated by a float.

We install plastic storage tanks ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 gallons, with 2,600-gallon and 3,000-gallon tanks being the most common sizes. Each tank is typically set on a pea gravel or sand pad with a treated wood border to ensure proper support and long-term stability.

Solar pump systems are ideal for locations where no utility power is available and it is not financially feasible to bring grid power to the well. These systems are commonly used for light irrigation, ponds, livestock water supply, and filling storage tanks. When the sun is out, the pump will operate automatically and adjust its speed based on available sunlight.

Solar pumps can be dependable solution for remote or off-grid applications, but for household use, it is best to have a battery backup or generator if you require consistent water pressure during the night or during extended cloudy conditions.

We provide trenching services for projects related to well water systems. Our team can install new water lines and electrical conduit from the wellhead to the pressure tank system and to the house.  We also replace old, damaged, or broken water and electrical lines, 

To handle different terrain conditions, we operate both a backhoe for trenching in more mountainous or rocky areas and a tracked trencher for efficient trenching in valley and soft-soil regions.
