Low Water Pressure in your Myra Home?

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

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

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Myra house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, occasionally 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 on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity often is linked 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 Myra. Their knowledgeable team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit 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 break down for many reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

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

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain enough 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 situation only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be harmed or break down entirely.
