Low Water Pressure in your Neosho Home?

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

We’re used to having water instantly available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is unmistakable and immediate. Minimal 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 Neosho house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, occasionally 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 work for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their health often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 Neosho. Their experienced team will diagnose your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for different reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen pump life.

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

Minimal water pressure in a Neosho home is a different situation, 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Neosho homes with high iron content in water.

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

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be harmed or quit working altogether.
