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 magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just always there.

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is unmistakable and instantaneous. Decreased water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Myra house – 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, pushes 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 last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is not uncommon.

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 team will analyze your scenario, and have your water running again within hours.

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

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

So will running water for hours in a row, 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.

Reduced water pressure in a Myra house is a different scenario, 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 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 a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey equipment can be damaged or stop working altogether.
