Ackerman Pump Co
Family-run well pump specialists serving Northern NJ since 1952, available every hour of every day.
Ackerman Pump Co has been pulling water from the ground since 1952. That's not a marketing line. That's seven decades of knowing exactly what happens when a pump fails at 2 a.m. on a Sunday.
Don Slater Jr. has operated the company since 1991, carrying forward the work Harry Ackerman started in the highlands of Passaic County. The license number is NJ #2198. The rating across 132 reviews is a perfect 5.0. Neither of those numbers happened by accident.
This is a single-trade shop. They do well pumps. They do them right. Customers across Bergen, Morris, Essex, and Passaic counties call when other contractors have already quoted them too high or walked away from the problem.
Every service here begins underground. Well pump installation and repair form the core of the work, paired with tank installation and full 24/7 emergency response for the moments when waiting is not an option.
Beyond the pump itself: water yield testing to understand what your well can actually deliver, well video inspections to see what no one else can, well cleaning and chlorination, geothermal services, and well abandonment handled to code. Treatment services address what comes up with the water, not just the mechanism that moves it.
One call reaches a technician who knows the aquifer beneath Northern New Jersey the way a surgeon knows anatomy.

It means a real technician responds, not a voicemail. Ackerman Pump offers round-the-clock availability every day of the week, including weekends and holidays. If your well pump fails at midnight, that's when service begins.
The primary service area covers Northern New Jersey including Bergen County, Morris County, Essex County, and Passaic County, with the home base in Hewitt, NJ.
A water yield test measures how much water your well can reliably produce. It's typically required during real estate transactions, after drought conditions, or when water pressure has noticeably declined. Ackerman Pump performs this service as part of their standard offering.
Yes. Geothermal services are part of their scope. If your heating or cooling system draws from a ground-source well loop, they have the technical background to service that infrastructure.
When a well goes permanently out of service, New Jersey regulations require it to be properly sealed and abandoned to protect groundwater. Ackerman Pump handles this process in compliance with state code.
Don has operated Ackerman Pump Co since 1991, continuing the work started by the Harry Ackerman family in 1952. That's over 30 years of personal ownership by the current operator.
It's worth a second opinion. Multiple customer reviews note that Ackerman Pump's assessment and pricing came in significantly lower than prior quotes from other contractors, and the work was completed the same day.
