Low Water Pressure in your Keowns Home?

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

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

 

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is unmistakable and immediate. Minimal water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

 

Maybe yes … or no.

 

If you have no water pressure in your Keowns home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are 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 waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

 

Well pumps on average work for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending 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 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 Keowns. Their skilled team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

 

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Occasionally an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable 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 stop operating for different reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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 pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

 

Low water pressure in a Keowns house is a different problem, 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 Keowns homes with high iron content in water.

 

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Reduced 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, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly equipment can be harmed or break down entirely.
