Low Water Pressure in your Lake Five House?

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

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

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is serious and urgent. Decreased 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 Lake Five home – 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 duration can be shorter or longer, based 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 simultaneously 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 Lake Five. Their experienced professionals will analyze your situation, 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 repairable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for many reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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.

Low water pressure in a Lake Five home is a different condition, 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Lake Five homes with high iron content in water.

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

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