Super Company!
Brad King and Chris Sherbert are knowledgeable and courteous technicians. They replaced my water well pump within hours. A real pleasure to deal with the entire company. I know nothing of their service costs against their competitors' pricing. I never shopped around because I am impressed with their customer service relations. It makes me sleep soundly at night. This morning I had a problem with my neutralizer and Brad called me back within 10 minutes and resolved the issue over the phone. Again, super company!

Saved from drilling a new well
This is long but worth the read if you have a low yield or low recovery well. Great experience with Mermaid Water Systems, especially Randy, Adam, Brad, and Patrick.
I have a very low yield and low recovery (about 2 pints per minute) well. My old water filtration and softener system was put in by an “expert” in 2022. The way the system was set up, we could use about 8 gallons of water in the pressure tank before the well pump would come on, with a normal 2-5 gallon a minute well this would be fine. Due to the low storage capacity and very low recovery rate of my well, we had to be very careful about water usage, especially on days when the filter and softener needed to backwash and regenerate. Even after the system was adjusted for short regenerations, the well ran dry several times. I finally said enough is enough and called Mermaid.
I worked with Randy and we found a product called the “Well Manager”. It is essentially a large tank with a computerized control panel. The system replaces a traditional pressure tank. The control panel runs the well pump on a timer based on the well recovery rate. There are safety mechanisms, such as flow and pressure detection, and electrical amperage monitoring, that will shut the well pump off if it begins to over pump the well. Essentially, the system “sips” water from the well and deposits it in the tank whether you are using water in the house or not. It will do this until the tank is full. Currently, it is set up so my well pump runs for 40 seconds every 28 minutes when the tank is not full. The settings are easily adjustable to balance water intake and pump cycles. When the house needs water, it is drawn from the tank by a constant pressure pump. There is a sediment filter before it goes into the tank (not a concern to have it between the well and tank since the pump is operated on a timer instead of a pressure switch). After the tank, the water goes to a Kinetico filter and softening system, then through a UVC light to the faucets/appliances. I can actually do multiple loads of wash, run the dishwasher whenever, do everything concurrently if I want. The well manager continues to refill the tank by “sipping” from the well around the clock. It automatically shuts off when the tank is full. I’m amazed, it saved me from drilling a new well where results are not guaranteed; I could have had the same low yield and recovery issues.
Thanks to Mermaid and this system, we can live a normal water usage life! I wish I would have called them from the beginning! The professionalism, clean easy-to-follow plumbing, and toleration of all of my (many) questions really set the Mermaid team above any other plumbers I have used in the past. Again, Randy, Brad, Adam, and Patrick were great. I’ll call them for all of my plumbing needs!

Extremely Professional Job
Patrick did a great job installing my battery backup sump pump. This is the second time he has completed a plumbing project for me. Both times he was extremely professional and did a great job.
Brian Geschke
Outstanding Experience with Mermaid Water
Adam is a very good tech. He took his time explaining the water tank install. His knowledge about well systems far exceeds his age. He was pleasant, honest, and very clean with his work. One of the best technicians that crossed my threshold. The whole experience with Mermaid Water system was outstanding.

Fixed It Fast
Mermaid Water Systems came when my well pump died. They fixed it fast and had water flowing again to my house in no time. I highly recommend.
Dane Cooper
Meticulous with excellent attention to detail
Taylor did a wonderful job with the install, as he has done on all the maintenance performed on our well filtering system. He is very meticulous with excellent attention to detail. He goes above and beyond on every service call. We hope to have him perform our annual maintenance when scheduled. Thank you; David and Linda Hardwick

Your Questions, Answered
What is a sump pump?
A sump pump is a device installed in the lowest part of a basement or crawlspace. Its primary function is to prevent flooding by removing water that collects in a sump basin. It pumps the water out and directs it away from the property, keeping your basement or crawlspace dry.
Is professional installation necessary?
Yes, professional installation ensures the sump pump is set up correctly and functions efficiently. A plumber will determine the best location, install necessary piping, and ensure proper electrical connections. This reduces the risk of malfunction and maximizes the pump's life.
How long does installation take?
Sump pump installation typically takes a few hours to a day, depending on your basement configuration and any additional work needed, such as installing drainage pipes. A professional plumber can provide a more specific timeline after assessing your home.
How often should a sump pump be serviced?
It's recommended to have your sump pump serviced annually to ensure it's working correctly. Regular maintenance includes checking the pump for clogs, testing its operation, and cleaning the sump pit. Routine checks help prevent unexpected failures during heavy rain.
