Low Water Pressure in your Ackerville House?

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

We’re used 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 always there.

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is unmistakable and urgent. Diminished water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Ackerville home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you need a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, pushes water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps usually operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often connects 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 Ackerville. Their experienced team will analyze your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for various 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.

Low water pressure in a Ackerville home is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Ackerville homes with high iron content in water.

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

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as costly machinery can be damaged or break down entirely.
