We’re used to having water always available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just reliably there.
So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and instantaneous. Decreased water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.
Maybe yes … or no.
If you have no water pressure in your Nenno house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, pushes water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.
Well pumps usually last 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated 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 Nenno. Their skilled professionals will analyze your situation, 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. Diagnosing power connections is always the first step undertaken 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 lessen 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 Nenno home is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Nenno 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 enough 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 fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly infrastructure can be harmed or quit working altogether.
