Low Water Pressure in your Hubertus Home?

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

We’re used to having water always available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is unmistakable and urgent. Decreased water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Hubertus house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, regularly called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

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

What is the reason for no water pressure in the house? The first step is to call Kelly James Service, the well pump and water solutions provider in Hubertus. Their knowledgeable professionals will analyze your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Occasionally an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Testing power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

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

So will running water for hours on end, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Hubertus house is a different scenario, 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 could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Hubertus homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain required pressure, forcing the pump to consistently turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive machinery can be damaged or quit working altogether.
