Low Water Pressure in your Myra Home?

No Water? Might Require 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 forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is undeniable and instantaneous. Decreased water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

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

Well pumps usually last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their health often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is not uncommon.

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 Myra. Their experienced team will diagnose your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for many reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce pump life.

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

Low water pressure in a Myra house is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water volume from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

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

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

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