Low Water Pressure in your Myra Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water readily available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just always there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is undeniable and urgent. Reduced water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Myra home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, occasionally 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 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 connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is a regular occurrence.

What is the reason for 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 professionals will analyze your scenario, 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. Checking power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

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

Reduced water pressure in a Myra house is a different scenario, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself 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 Myra 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 required pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 costly equipment can be damaged or stop working altogether.
