Low Water Pressure in your Wales Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at our fingertips. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is undeniable and immediate. Minimal 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 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 awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically work for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often ties in 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 Wales. Their knowledgeable professionals will diagnose your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

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

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for numerous 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Wales 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 Wales homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain sufficient 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 an issue that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey infrastructure can be damaged or stop working altogether.
