Low Water Pressure in your Wales Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water instantly available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just always there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is undeniable and instantaneous. Low water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Wales home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, occasionally called a water pump, pushes 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 work for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is a regular occurrence.

What is the reason for 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 team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water running again within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for numerous reasons. Age is inevitable. 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 activities can lower the underground water table which, if it goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Wales home is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water volume from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem could be a clogged iron filter – again, for Wales homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure means 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 health.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly infrastructure can be damaged or break down entirely.
