Low Water Pressure in your Rockfield House?

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

We’re used to having water at our fingertips. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

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

Well pumps usually 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 health often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is a regular occurrence.

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 Rockfield. Their skilled team will analyze your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for different 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 goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Rockfield home is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 Rockfield homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain enough pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
