Low Water Pressure in your Goldenthal Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water instantly available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is significant and instantaneous. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to freak out.

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 – probably you need a new well pump. This pump, frequently called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan 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 simultaneously is a regular occurrence.

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 experienced team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for myriad reasons. Age is inevitable. 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 goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Goldenthal home is a different issue, 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 plugged iron filter – again, for Goldenthal homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain required 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 an issue that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be damaged or quit working altogether.
