Low Water Pressure in your Wales House?

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 comes out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.

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

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 – very likely you need a new well pump. This pump, frequently called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending 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 simultaneously is not uncommon.

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 experienced team will diagnose your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating 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 goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Wales house is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows 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 connects to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be harmed or stop working altogether.
