Low Water Pressure in your Atwater Home?

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

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

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Atwater home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of 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 on average last 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is not uncommon.

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 Atwater. Their experienced professionals will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for numerous 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 Atwater home is a different issue, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Atwater homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain enough pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 a problem that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be damaged or stop working altogether.
