The technicians at Kampa are experts in troubleshooting the causes of low water pressure. If you think low pressure is a problem, there are some easy fixes you can make to make the water flow better.
What Causes Low Well Water Pressure?
If you notice that the water is coming out of the faucet or shower head less than it once did, there is most likely a drop in pressure. This is caused by drought or periods of heavy water use.
Low water pressure can also occur after a home addition with an extra kitchen or bathroom, or after a new irrigation system has been installed.
Sometimes what appears to be low water pressure is a lower volume of water, with less water flowing than before. This is caused by blocked pipes or a problem with your well or well pump. In such cases, adding water pressure will not help the problem in the long run and will cause damage to the water system.
If the problem is water pressure, installing a constant pressure system is a good solution. A constant pressure system is installed in your basement, on the line where water enters your home.
As the name suggests, it keeps the water pressure constant while using different faucets and appliances, changing the speed of your water pump as demand increases or decreases.
Does Adjusting Water Pressure Help Solve Pressure Problems?
A constant pressure system allows homeowners to shower, wash the dishes and water the lawn all at the same time without one of the faucets falling into a dripping state. Here are some other benefits you may notice with a new constant pressure system:
- Eliminates the need to limit water usage
- Avoid delays in water pressure that cause many appliances such as showers and sinks when water usage fluctuates
- Allow your appliances to run more efficiently and extend their life
- Limited pressure makes it difficult to shower faster, adjust the pressure and this problem will disappear.
- You can water your lawn or garden whenever you want.
As Kampa, we recommend Home Type Boosters that provide water pressure in your homes. You can install these boosters at the outlet of your water well, or if you have a water tank, you can install it easily and effortlessly at the tank outlet.
Our booster pumps are sent to you with the pump, expansion tank, pressure gauge and pressure switch installed.
What is a Booster?
Boosters are automatic pumps used for pressurizing water where water pressure is insufficient. Boosters can be used alone or can be used together with a water tank in some installation systems.
They provide pressurization of the mains water in houses, apartments, buildings, villas, sites and high-rise buildings or the water taken from the tank is sent to the network in a pressurized way.
What are the Usage Areas of Booster Boosters?
- Boosters are used in small areas such as houses and gardens, detached houses, villas, as well as in large buildings such as low and multi-storey buildings, apartments, schools, hospitals, business centers, shopping malls.
- They are used to get the desired pressure and flow rate at the same rate and for comfortable water use. In order for the booster to be long-lasting and to provide quality water without any problems, the pressure and flow rate calculation should be made well according to the area to be used.
What are the Water Pressure Correction Methods?
First identify the problem. If there has been a problem with the well water pressure all along, you can get a booster.
If you have experienced a pressure drop afterwards, call the nearest technical service and have your water well and well pumps checked. There is probably something wrong with your pump.
If the problem is not with the well pump and you have a booster, check the expansion tank. You may also have problems when the pressure in the expansion tank drops. Check and renew the air in the booster tank.
