Low Water Pressure in your Astico House?

No Water? Might Need a New Well Pump … Or Something Else

We’re acclimated to having water readily available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is significant and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Astico house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you require a new well pump. This pump, frequently called a water pump, pushes water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps usually work for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is a regular occurrence.

What is the cause of no water pressure in the house? The first step is to call Kelly James Service, the well pump and water solutions provider in Astico. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for different reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten pump life.

So will running water for hours in a row, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These activities can lower the underground water table which, if it goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Astico house is a different issue, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Astico homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be harmed or break down entirely.
