Low-Production Well Systems

Storage TanksA Low Yield well is a well that is not able to meet the demands of the home or facility it supply’s and is called “Low-Yield” or “Low-Production” well. A “Good” well has sufficient water recharge within the aquifer and for water to fill the well at a rate that meets or exceeds the demands of the home.

With Matsu Water’s well management and water storage systems, water from your well is stored in an atmospheric style storage tank or soft sided bladder tank and then the water is re-pressurized into your home’s plumbing system. With our well management and water storage system your water problems are no problem!


What is a Low Production Well?

  • For most practical purposes, a Low Production Well is any well that has a production level that is less than 5 Gallons-per-minute (GPM).
  • Production refers to a wells ability to provide water at a certain rate
  • Recovery refers to a wells ability to recharge after
  • A Low Production Well does not produce enough water to meet the demands of a typical house hold and requires a water storage system to supplement
  • The production level of a well may need to be supplemented to meet the needs of the house hold or to meet the requirements of a financier
  • The water storage system may be increased in size to accommodate very low production wells
  • The water storage system may be used in conjunction with water treatment products such as cartridge filters and drinking water systems
  • A low production well and water storage system may be supplemented with water deliver to meet the demands of the house hold

A well that is able to supply sufficient water to meet the peak demands of a home is considered to be a “good” well. Other wells may not be able to meet the demands of the home and are called “low-yield” or “low-production” wells.

Below are Illustrations of “Good” and “Low-Yield” Wells:

A “Good” well has sufficient water recharge within the aquifer, for water to fill the well at a rate that meets or exceeds the demands of the home.
A “Low-Yield” well has fewer passages within the aquifer for the water to fill the well or the well may simply not recharge fast enough to meet the demands.

A Good Well


Even if your well is “Low-Yield” you can have enough water for your home.
