Low Water Pressure in your Goldenthal House?

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

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

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is unmistakable and urgent. 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 Goldenthal home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often ties in 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 Goldenthal. Their skilled professionals will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for numerous reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Goldenthal home is a different condition, 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 could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Goldenthal homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links 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 consistently turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be harmed or stop working altogether.
