Well Flow Tests
Understanding how much water your well can produce is essential for designing a reliable water system. At American Pump & Drilling, we perform professional well flow tests for residential, agricultural, commercial, and municipal wells throughout Eastern Idaho, Western Wyoming, and Southern Montana.
A well flow test (also known as a yield test or pumping test) measures the sustained flow rate and recovery rate of a well. This information is critical when sizing pumps, pressure systems, storage tanks, and irrigation infrastructure. It also provides valuable insight into the health and performance of an existing well—especially if you’re experiencing low pressure, reduced water availability, or are preparing to install a new system.
Our experienced team uses calibrated equipment and reliable testing methods to conduct flow tests that meet engineering, permitting, and lender requirements. Whether you need a basic test for residential use or a more detailed analysis for a commercial or agricultural project, we have the equipment, knowledge, and in-house resources to get it done.
Common Reasons to Perform a Flow Test:
- Verifying well capacity before designing or upgrading a system
- Diagnosing pressure issues or suspected water shortages
- Preparing for real estate transactions or permit applications
- Meeting lender or health department testing requirements
- Monitoring system performance over time
