- Low water pressure – Some reasons why you may have low pressure are: addition of filtration, clogged filtration, clogged fixture screens, excessive use of lowering water table, or a broken pipe within the system, or it could be that the actual pumping system is showing signs and symptoms of age or pump failure.
- Water pressure surges – Water surges normally occur when there is an issue with the pump and tank sizing an inadequate sized tank or pump for your system may be the problem. They could also be due to a defective pressure switch or tank, or pressure tank failure.
- Water system short cycling – System shorts are typically related to an unbalanced tank in a well or faulty pressure switch.
- No water – Power failure, a dry well, recovery issues, or a faulty pressure switch, or faulty controls, a defective pump, or pipe.
- My water smells – Typically this is an indication of sulfur being present in the system.
- I have Staining in my fixtures – Staining elements are extremely common in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Orange staining indicates that iron is present and black staining typically indicates that manganese is present. If your have sandy deposits along with staining it may also indicate that sediment is present.
