Low Water Pressure in your Wales House?

No Water? Might Require 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 spills forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Wales home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, regularly 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 typically last 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health 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 Wales. Their skilled professionals will analyze your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Occasionally 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 stop operating 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Wales home is a different situation, 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 might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Wales 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 adequate pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 an issue that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be harmed or quit working altogether.
