Kettleby is a small hamlet in King Township, north of King City, with a handful of older buildings at its centre and country homes on large lots in the hills around it.

Homes in and around Kettleby generally rely on private wells, so the plumbing starts at the well: a pump, a pressure tank, a pressure switch and usually some water treatment. When the pump starts clicking on and off every few seconds, the pressure fades halfway through a shower, or there is no water after a power cut, the tank and switch are where a plumber starts.

Groundwater here tends to be hard and can carry iron or a sulphur smell, which is tough on water heaters and fixtures. Tell us what you are seeing — or smelling — and your request goes to one plumber who covers Kettleby and the rest of King Township.

York Simcoe Plumbing is a free referral service: your request goes to one independent local plumber serving Kettleby, and they quote and do the work.

Well pressure tank repair in Kettleby

A waterlogged tank or a failing pressure switch is the most common reason a well pump short-cycles. It is hard on the pump, so it is worth fixing early.

Water heaters and softeners on well water

Hard, iron-rich well water shortens a tank's life. Replacing the heater is a good time to look at treatment upstream.

Sump pumps for country basements

Kettleby Questions, Answered

On a well, low pressure usually comes from the pressure switch setting, a pressure tank that has lost its air charge, a clogged sediment filter, or a pump that is wearing out. A clogged filter is the easiest to check yourself. If the pressure drops and the pump short-cycles, the tank is the likely culprit.
There is no fixed rule, but checking the tank's air charge about once a year, and whenever the pump starts cycling more often, is common advice. Many owners have it looked at when their water treatment is serviced.
