Low Water Pressure in your Ebenezer Home?

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

We’re used to having water at our fingertips. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Minimal water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Ebenezer house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – chances are you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, drives 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 longevity often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is a regular occurrence.

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 Ebenezer. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable 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 wear out for different reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Ebenezer house is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself 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 Ebenezer homes with high iron content in water.

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

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly machinery can be harmed or break down entirely.
