Two Solutions. One Important Difference.
Both systems store well water and provide dependable household pressure. The difference is how your well is managed.
Well Harvester
The better choice when you want the system to monitor, protect, and manage your low-yield well automatically.
- Automatically monitors changing well conditions
- Adjusts operation as production changes
- Automatic over-pump protection
- Minimal owner involvement
Well Reserve
A simpler, lower-cost solution when your well has stable, accurately measured production and you are comfortable setting the collection rate.
- Owner-set collection rate
- Designed for stable, measured production
- Optional dry-run protection
- Lower upfront cost
Which One Should You Choose?
For most low-yield well problems, we recommend the Well Harvester. The Well Reserve is a simpler, lower-cost alternative for stable, accurately measured wells.
If your well is very low, changing, seasonal, uncertain—or you simply want the system to manage the well automatically.
If your well has stable, accurately measured production and you are comfortable with an owner-set collection rate.

How Involved Are You?
Which System Should You Choose?
You do not need to figure this out on your own. For most low-yield well problems, we recommend the Well Harvester. The Well Reserve is a simpler, lower-cost option for stable, accurately measured wells.
Well Harvester
Choose the Well Harvester when you want the system to actively monitor, protect, and manage your low-yield well with minimal owner involvement.
Well Reserve
Consider the Well Reserve when your well has stable, accurately measured production and you prefer a simpler system with a lower upfront cost.
You do not need to know every technical detail. Well production, household size, water-use problems, and any history of running out of water are usually enough for us to start.
Have Enough Water Over Time, but Not Enough Pressure?
The Water Booster may be the better fit when your source provides enough water over time but cannot keep up with your home’s pressure or instantaneous flow demands.
Still Unsure? Keep It Simple.
For most challenging low-yield wells, we recommend the Well Harvester. The Well Reserve is the simpler, lower-cost option for stable, accurately measured wells.
What is the biggest difference between the Well Harvester and Well Reserve?
The Well Harvester manages the well automatically. The Well Reserve uses an owner-set collection rate.
If you want automatic monitoring, adjustment, and protection as well conditions change, we recommend the Well Harvester. If your well is stable and well understood and lower upfront cost is important, the Well Reserve may be a good fit.
Which system do you recommend for most low-yield wells?
We generally recommend the Well Harvester because low-yield well production can change over time. It is designed to monitor conditions and manage well operation automatically rather than relying on one manually selected collection rate.
When does the Well Reserve make sense?
The Well Reserve makes the most sense when the well has stable, accurately measured production and you are comfortable having the collection rate set and reviewed if conditions change.
It is also a good option when you want a simpler storage-and-pressure system and keeping the upfront cost lower is an important priority.
What if my well production changes during the year?
That generally favors the Well Harvester. It is designed to adjust its operation as well conditions change.
With the Well Reserve, the collection setting should be reviewed and adjusted if sustainable production changes.
Which system provides more well-pump protection?
The Well Harvester includes automatic well protection as part of its normal operation.
Optional dry-run protection can be added to the Well Reserve, but the Reserve still relies on an owner-set collection rate rather than automatically managing changing well production.
When should I choose a Water Booster instead?
Choose a Water Booster when you have enough water available but need better household pressure, flow, or additional storage.
If the actual problem is that the well cannot sustainably keep up with demand, the Well Harvester or Well Reserve is usually the more appropriate type of solution.
