Low Water Pressure in your Grellton House?

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

We’re acclimated to having water readily available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just always there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is undeniable and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Grellton home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often ties in 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 Grellton. Their knowledgeable team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water running again within hours.

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

If the problem 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 on end, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Grellton home is a different scenario, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Grellton homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain enough pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive equipment can be damaged or break down entirely.
