We’re used to having water at our fingertips. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just dependably there.
So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is significant and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.
Maybe yes … or no.
If you have no water pressure in your Neda home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, often 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 usually last 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped 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 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 Neda. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your situation, and have your water restored within hours.
A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the initial step undertaken by Kelly James Service.
If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for many reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten pump life.
So will running water for hours at a time, 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.
Low water pressure in a Neda house is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.
The problem might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Neda homes with high iron content in water.
Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 a problem that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly infrastructure can be harmed or stop working altogether.
