There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the specific well pump that you are using and how often it is used. Generally, however, shallow well pumps should last around eight to 15 years depending on use and well construction.

How far can a shallow well pump pull water?

Does a shallow well pump need a pressure tank?
A well pump needs a pressure tank to keep the pressure high enough to force the water out of the well.
