Authors & Reviewers

Who is behind the bylines on our guides, and our rules for listing experts.

Well Pump Handbook Editorial

Guides bylined "Well Pump Handbook Editorial" are researched and written by the publication's editorial staff. We are not a well-drilling or pump-service company. Technical statements are checked against manufacturer manuals, trade-association material and government sources, which are listed at the end of each guide with the date they were checked.

We use AI tools to assist with research and drafting; every technical claim is verified against the cited sources by a person before publication. Read the full process in our editorial policy.

Technical reviewers

No guide on this site currently carries a technical reviewer's name, because we don't yet have one. We intend to work with licensed well contractors or certified groundwater professionals to review our safety-critical guides. When that happens:

  • the reviewer will be listed here with their name, license or certification, and how to verify it;
  • each reviewed guide will show who reviewed it and when;
  • reviewers will be paid for their time, and that relationship will be disclosed.

Our rules for bylines

  • No invented names, photos, credentials or years of experience.
  • No "expert quotes" we didn't actually obtain.
  • Credentials are listed only when they can be verified.
