Low Water Pressure in your Knowles House?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

 

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is serious and immediate. Decreased water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

 

Maybe yes … or no.

 

If you have no water pressure in your Knowles home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, often 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 typically last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health 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 Knowles. Their experienced professionals will diagnose your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

 

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Testing 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 numerous reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 Knowles home is a different problem, 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 plugged iron filter – again, for Knowles homes with high iron content in water.

 

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain sufficient 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 go away, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly infrastructure can be damaged or break down entirely.
