Test Pumping
Before selecting a pump or designing a water system, it’s critical to understand how much water your well can produce over time. At American Pump & Drilling, we offer professional test pumping services across Eastern Idaho, Western Wyoming, and Southern Montana to help evaluate well performance, determine system sizing, and support long-term planning.
Test pumping involves pumping water from a well at a controlled rate for a set period of time to measure yield, recovery, drawdown, and other key performance indicators. This information is essential when planning for new pump installations, designing irrigation or municipal water systems, or determining the viability of an existing well for increased demand.
We provide test pumping for residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial, and municipal wells, and tailor the process to your project’s specific requirements. Whether you’re looking for a short-term pump test or a longer-duration step-drawdown test, we have the expertise and equipment to deliver accurate, reliable data.
Our fleet of specialized pump rigs allows us to handle deep wells and high-capacity systems with efficiency. And with minimal outsourcing—if any, we perform related services like flow testing, well rehabilitation, and motor diagnostics in-house, backed by our own machine shop and Motor Shop.
