The pressure of the water flowing in our houses fixtures is usually regulated. Having too much water pressure can damage home appliances and pipes, while low pressure affects the flow rate of water in the showers and faucets.
Residential water from the municipal supplies is regulated at a pressure of around
45 to 60 pounds per inch (PSI). If using the household well, the water pressure is controlled by the pressure tanks. They are several factors that lead to a reduction in water pressure. The following article focuses on the factors that affect water pressure while using the well system.
Household wells are widely used in many residential premises for water supply. A complete well system is composed of pipes, a pump and a pressure system. Malfunctioning of any component in the well system affects the pressure of the water flowing in the installed premises through the following ways.
Clogged Water Pipes. Clogging of the pipes restricts the flow of the water. The buildup of mineral deposits, rust and other debris over time causes the pipes to clog. Galvanized iron pipes tend to clog quicker than pipes made of different materials. It is essential to consult a technician to determine whether the pipes need to be cleaned or changed.
Faulty Water Pump. A pump becomes faulty when it gets old and starts to wear out. When the pump fails, the water pressure reduces, or the flow completely stops. A lousy pump pressure switch can also affect water pressure. The switch is located in the pressure tank, and it sends signals to the pump to increase the pressure if it falls below the predesignated PSI.
Problems With the Pressure Tank. The main component in the pressure tank is the air bladder. It helps maintain a constant water flow and increase the water pressure by compressing a layer of air at the top of the tank. It is essential to check the air valve’s air pressure to ensure that it is between 40 and 60 PSI. If it is below 40 PSI, the water pressure coming from the tank is weak. One can use an air compressor to restore the pressure on the air bladder.
