Low Water Pressure in your Guthrie Home?

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

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

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is serious and urgent. Minimal water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Guthrie home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, often 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 on average work for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 Guthrie. Their experienced professionals will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Periodically an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable 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 numerous reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Guthrie home is a different scenario, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

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

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

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey equipment can be damaged or stop working altogether.
