Low Water Pressure in your Meeker 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 comes out. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is significant and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Meeker home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you require a new well pump. This pump, frequently called a water pump, pushes water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often ties in 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 Meeker. Their experienced team will troubleshoot 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. Periodically an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Testing power connections is always the initial step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for different reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen pump life.

So will running water for hours on end, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These pursuits 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 Meeker home is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself 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 Meeker homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain sufficient 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 disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
