Low Water Pressure in your Keowns 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 comes out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is profound and urgent. 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 Keowns home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, regularly called a water pump, drives 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 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 Keowns. Their knowledgeable team will diagnose your situation, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for numerous 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

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

The problem could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Keowns 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 sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey machinery can be harmed or stop working altogether.
