Low Water Pressure in your Goldenthal House?

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

We’re acclimated to having water readily available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is significant and urgent. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly 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 – probably 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 waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps on average work for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Goldenthal. Their experienced professionals will diagnose your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for many reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten 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.

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

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