Low Water Pressure in your Goldenthal Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at our fingertips. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is unmistakable and immediate. Minimal 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 Goldenthal house – 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, 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 operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Goldenthal. Their skilled team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

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

Low water pressure in a Goldenthal home is a different problem, 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 could be a clogged iron filter – again, for Goldenthal homes with high iron content in water.

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

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as expensive equipment can be harmed or quit working altogether.
