Low Water Pressure in your Wales Home?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the house? 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 Wales house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of 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 pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 team 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. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Checking power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for many reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Wales house is a different issue, 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Wales homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain required pressure, forcing the pump to consistently turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, reduced 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 pricey infrastructure can be damaged or quit working altogether.
