Comment working on well and piping systems can cause water filter clogging loss of water pressure. Just wanted to share a problem that occurred with us the last time we put air in the water pump tank. After putting air in the tank, we turned the pump on and the pump worked fine. We would like to show you a description here but the site wont allow us.

Pressure to the first water filter was excellent but there was little to no water coming out in the outlets in the house. Turns out it was the primary filter. Apparently when you run the water down in the tank to zero, there is a lot of sediment in the line when you turn it back on. This clogged up the primary filter causing little to no water to go to the house outlets. We discovered this was the cause by removing the filters and just putting the casing back on and then checking the water pressure in the house. Without the filter we had great pressure. So we changed the filters and everything was fine even though we had just changed the filter two months before. American Poker 2. Lesson to learn is when you zero out the pump, make sure you change ALL the filters after the water has built back up want to wait until it builds back up or you will just get the sediment in the new filters. Douglas Erb. Reply Thanks for this helpful tip, Douglas indeed we need to remember that doing any plumbing work can stir up debris in the system that then clogs a water filter. Sometimes where there is no main water filter installed, we can see a similar problem showing up as reduced flow at individual faucets after some work on the plumbing system unscrew the faucet strainers and flush out the piping and clean the strainers if you see that additional problem. Question After replacing a hot water tank weve got lost water pressure. Is it electrical, a clogged filter, bad tank bladder or what I have an outside well with an above ground pump. Until a year ago, when I replaced the gas hot water tank located in the attic, I had no well water pressure or water flow problems. Letter Writing Software. The most I could complain about was the occasional specks of fine dirt in the garden tub. Its one year later, and I have started to experience good pressure on hot and cold water for about a minute and half before the water slows and then stops. I simply shut the faucets off and wait for about a 2 minute period and then turn them both back on and the water flows without interruption or loss of pressure. In two recent times the outside sub panel breaker box which houses the AC and the Well pump breakers, the Well pump breaker was tripped. Do I have an electrical issue electric pump intermittent failure, a filter or bladder clog, or some other age or sediment related issue. The well is 1. 2 plus years old and delivers throughout the worse droughts here in NC. What should and could I do to fix thisVince NB, Charlotte NCReply a clogged water filter stays clogged until its replaced it wont get better on its own. A stick tank bladder or control can, however give intermittent water pressure behavior. Im not sure, Vince, but I dont think that a clogged filter will recover when water is shut off a flapping bit of debris at a hot water tank or cold water pressure tank can behave that way. The tripping pump breaker is a clue that the pump motor may be failing or overheating. Id check there. Question Water pressure tank is empty after replacing our hot water heater. I think there is a sediment clog somewhere. I recently replaced my water heater without any problems and filled it according to standard practice. While refilling, I noticed a lot of sediment from the faucets, which is pretty common in this area every time water is cut off. I replaced my sediment filter but noticed the pressure tank is empty. Water pressure of the house meets any single appliance demand, but it we try to run two fixtures at once, the water will cut off, about thirty seconds, then turn on again. My current well level is relatively high. My guess is that I have a sediment clog preventing the tank from filling. Would you please offer your insight and perhaps supply a link if this specific issue has already been addressed Thank you. Kevin. Reply Kevin I agree that your diagnosis sounds reasonable if water is not entering your water pressure tank a symptom will be short cycling on and off of the water pump. The sediment you report could have clogged the water entry port at the tank. Provided your water tank is not waterlogged lacking any air charge you could try forcing water into the pressure tank by temporarily holding the pressure control relay closed to pump water to say 7. WATCH OUT not to over pressurize your tank and blow it up you can be hurt or killed and Watch out not to get shocked there are live wires in the pressure control switch. See SHORT CYCLING WATER PUMP. WATER TANK AIR, HOW TO ADDQuestion Bad well pump control box, relay switch, or pressure switch can give water pressure problems. I found your articles extremely helpful for trying to diagnose my poor water pressurequantity problem. They helped me to understand how my system works and to figure out that our problem wasnt with the pressure tank or pressure switch. I did, however, figure out on my own that the problem was with the control boxrelay switch your articles did help me figure out what the heck that box was and what it did, though. It was an easy fix once I diagnosed the problem. Maybe there should be more mention of the control box and that being a potential cause of poor water pressure. Im glad I didnt believe the well technician who thought our well was running dry Dawn T. Reply tracking down a bad well pump relay switch. Dawn thanks for the nice note, and Im so glad our information was helpful. If you would take a moment to let me know what you did to track down the problem to the control box relay I am guessing you mean the pump control relay switch Ill be glad to write up and add that information as it would certainly help other readers. Some photos of the equipment you are discussing would be very valuable too. Use the CONTACT link found on our pages to send me photos or more suggestions. Thanks so much. Question Sudden loss of water pressure, adding air to the pressure tank didnt help. I have a 7yr old submersible that feeds our whole house. Turned a faucet on and it has low pressure. Worked fine hours prior. Never had low pressure so never checked air pressure in bladder tank.
