Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are specialty water systems, and how do they differ from regular systems?
Specialty water systems are designed to address specific needs, such as solar-powered pumps, UV disinfection, or irrigation sumps. Unlike regular systems, they offer custom solutions for unique challenges, such as remote locations, off-grid living, or water purification needs.
How does a solar-powered pump work in Twin Falls’ climate?
Solar-powered pumps harness sunlight to power water extraction, making them ideal for remote or off-grid locations in Southern Idaho. These systems are energy-efficient and reliable, even in areas where traditional electricity sources are unavailable, especially with Idaho's sunny summers.
What is UV disinfection, and is it effective for rural water sources?
UV disinfection uses ultraviolet light to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens in water, making it an ideal solution for rural properties relying on well water. It’s an efficient and chemical-free method, ensuring safe, clean drinking water.
Can a hand pump be a viable solution for emergency water access?
Yes, hand pumps provide reliable emergency water access when power is unavailable. They are especially beneficial for remote locations or off-grid homes. Our manual hand pumps are designed for durability and are ideal for situations requiring immediate, self-sustained water access.
What are irrigation sumps, and how can they benefit my farm?
Irrigation sumps are systems designed to store and distribute water efficiently to agricultural fields. They ensure reliable water availability during irrigation, reducing waste and providing consistent moisture to crops. This is especially important in Southern Idaho’s variable climate.
What maintenance do specialty water systems require?
Specialty water systems generally require minimal maintenance but should be regularly checked for efficiency. Routine inspections ensure the pumps, filtration systems, and solar components remain in top working condition. For example, UV light bulbs need periodic replacement to maintain effectiveness.
How can a chlorine pump improve water quality?
Chlorine pumps are used to inject a controlled amount of chlorine into water to disinfect it. This is particularly useful in areas with high bacteria or algae content in water sources, ensuring safe, potable water for both residential and agricultural use.
Are solar-powered pumps cost-effective in the long term?
Yes, solar-powered pumps are cost-effective because they reduce dependency on traditional energy sources. Over time, they offer significant savings on energy bills, and their minimal maintenance requirements ensure long-term reliability. Solar pumps are a sustainable option for off-grid locations.

Testimonials
Walker is our go-to well expert in the Wood River Valley. Unlike the "other well guy" here they give you honest, straightforward advice. The two times we've been in scary "no water" situations, they were here in a flash and made things right. One of those was on Christmas Eve when a mouse decided to commit harakiri in our well's power box and shorted everything out. The "other guy" up here has one solution for all well problems: a new well for tens of thousands of dollars. Walker figures things out and fixes them. It is a pleasure to watch a stone-cold pro like Roman work.

We woke up this morning to no water in the house. We are on well water and Walker Water systems replaced our old well pump 6 months ago. We were very pleased with their previous service so I called them today. Their service person was at our home within 20 minutes and quickly found the problem, which was actually with our water softener, not our well or pump. He had the parts and fixed the problem within an hour. Phenomenal service, polite, personable, and knowledgeable -- I highly recommend Walker Water Systems for any of your water system needs!!!

My pump stopped working and they came out the same day to work on it. Before they came it had started working again. They checked everything over, explained what had happened and how to prevent it and then didn't even charge me a trip charge. The business is recently under new ownership and I am glad that I will be able to save their phone number for many years in case something else goes wrong. They were professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Thank you!
