Low Water Pressure in your Fillmore Home?

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

We’re used to having water always available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is significant and immediate. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Fillmore home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood 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 waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps usually operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based 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 at the same time 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 Fillmore. Their experienced professionals will diagnose your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for various 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 pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

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

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

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

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive equipment can be damaged or break down entirely.
