Powering Your Water.
Powering Your Land.
Solar well conversions, windmill service, pump repair, and stock water for the ranches, farms, and rural homes of the eastern Texas Panhandle. Done by a local crew that answers the phone.
What We Do
If it puts water on Panhandle land, we build it, fix it, or maintain it. Every job starts with a free estimate and ends with water you can count on.
Solar Well Conversions & Installation
Solar conversion is the work we do most, and the work we believe in most. The Panhandle gets sun nearly year-round, and a solar well pump turns that sun straight into water: no meter, no power bill, no mile of trench to the nearest pole.

Straight Answers for Well Owners
What a Water Well Costs in the Texas Panhandle
Depth, casing, and pump choice set the price of a well. Here is how each one works, from a crew that scopes them every week.
Read the guide →Well Stopped Working? A Panhandle Troubleshooting Guide
Most well outages trace to a short list of causes, and a few are fixable from the breaker panel. Here is the order to check things in.
Read the guide →Solar Pump or Windmill? Choosing Stock Water Power
We install both, so we have no side to argue. Here is how sun and wind actually compare on Panhandle rangeland.
Read the guide →How Deep Are Water Wells in the Texas Panhandle?
Depth to water varies more across this region than almost anywhere in Texas. Here is what controls it and how to find real numbers for your ground.
Read the guide →Low Well Water Pressure: Causes and Fixes
Pressure problems have a short list of causes and a correct order to check them. Start at the switch, not the pump.

Freeze damage is the most preventable expense in the well business. This is the checklist we run on our own systems before the first hard front.

What areas does Applewhite Water Well serve?
The eastern Texas Panhandle: Wheeler, Pampa, Shamrock, Canadian, Wellington, Groom, Miami, Kelton, Skellytown, Alanreed, Briscoe, and Allison, plus the ranch country between them.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Matthew Applewhite holds an active Texas Master Water Well Pump Installer license, #61162 — verify it yourself on the TDLR license search. When a job needs new drilling, we bring in licensed drilling partners and run the rest of the project ourselves.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Site visits and written estimates are free, and the number you approve is the number you pay.
How fast can you respond when a well goes down?
No-water calls get priority, and livestock outages go to the front of the line. Call 806-334-0785 and we will give you an honest window.
Do you work on windmills and solar systems, or just electric pumps?
All three. We install and repair traditional windmills, solar pumping systems, and electric submersible systems, so our recommendation is based on your site, not on what we happen to sell.
