Low Water Pressure in your Lake Five Home?

No Water? Might Need 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 pours out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is undeniable and instantaneous. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Lake Five house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, regularly 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 last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped 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 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 Lake Five. Their knowledgeable professionals will analyze your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for different reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten pump life.

So will running water for hours on end, 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 Lake Five house is a different situation, 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 plugged iron filter – again, for Lake Five 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 maintain required pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as expensive equipment can be harmed or quit working altogether.
