Low Water Pressure in your Aztalan 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 comes forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Aztalan house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of 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 awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically operate for 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 is linked 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 Aztalan. Their knowledgeable professionals will analyze your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for various reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

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

The problem could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Aztalan 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 relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

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