When do I think my water pump is running at odd hours?
Intermittent water pump cycling – when you think the pump is running at odd hours – is discussed at WATER PUMP INTERMITTENT CYCLING – this means that the water pump comes on for no apparent reason. Short cycling of a water pump means that the water pump turns on and off too rapidly or too frequently when water is being run in the building.
What does it mean when your water pressure goes down?
Loss of water pressure means that the pressure with which water enters a plumbing fixture has become too slow, or is sometimes too slow or weak in water flow rate, or water flow may stop entirely. If the building water supply stops and takes minutes to hours to recover, you may have problem with the well flow rate.
Why does my well pump keep running with no water?
Explanation: If the well pump keeps running and you have no water it is also possible that the pump itself is defective, such as having broken internal parts so that the motor runs but the pump does not move water.
Why is my pressure washer losing so much pressure?
You may use a needle to clear the nozzle tip of any dirt or debris. Nozzles that are eroding or wearing out usually cause gradual pressure loss, as opposed to happening suddenly. This is because the holes in them that release the water widens over time. As it does, the more water flows through causing the loss of pressure.
Why is my pressure washer not running full pressure?
We switched off the electric motor but kept the water running through the pump. After holding the trigger to keep the water running through the machine we managed to clear the air from the pump and lines. My neighbour turned the machine on again and it worked. Full pressure, no pulsing.
