Low Water Pressure in your Barton Home?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is undeniable and immediate. Minimal water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Barton home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you need a new well pump. This pump, occasionally called a water pump, drives 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 lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Barton. Their experienced team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water restored within hours.

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

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

Reduced water pressure in a Barton house is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up 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 Barton homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means 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, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be damaged or quit working altogether.
