Low Water Pressure in your Neda House?

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

We’re used to having water at our fingertips. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is undeniable and instantaneous. Diminished 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 Neda house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 work for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often is linked 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 Neda. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your scenario, and have your water running again within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for myriad reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Neda house is a different issue, 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 Neda homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain required pressure, forcing the pump to consistently turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be damaged or quit working altogether.
