Flow tests measure gallons per minute wells produce. Cost is $200-400. Verifies adequate supply (typically 3+ GPM). Identifies declining well capacity. Essential for rural properties. Results inform expansion feasibility. Low flow may require pressure tank or water conservation. Critical for property value. Affects usage limitations. Professional testing provides accurate baseline. Wells require periodic monitoring. Growing importance with water scarcity.
Pro Tip
Flow testing is critical for well properties. Low flow limits usage and may require pressure tanks.
Example
Well flow test identified declining capacity requiring pressure tank for adequate supply.
