Low Water Pressure in your Goldenthal House?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is significant and urgent. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Goldenthal house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need 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 operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often connects 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 Goldenthal. Their knowledgeable professionals will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water restored 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. Testing power connections is always the initial step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

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

So will running water for hours in a row, 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.

Minimal water pressure in a Goldenthal house is a different issue, 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. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 a problem that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be harmed or quit working altogether.
