Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / Re: Determining back pressure with Psidekick

Okay thanks. I decided to throw on a pressure gauge while installing because I hated not knowing for certain and it does in fact sit at 97 PSI! Quite surprised to be honest, I figured there would be losses somewhere to the CSV but here’s to more validation for you!

Thanks again, so far it works great.

Thanks for helping out! Looks like I am under but with little margin, would this concern you with your experience?

Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / Determining back pressure with Psidekick

« on: February 11, 2026, 08:48:44 PM »

I purchased the psidekick based off my well report (not installed yet), seems like it meets the parameters allowed as long as I understood my report.

Now I didn’t think about back pressure and the piping/fittings I have and whether the rating is exceeded. Can I determine back pressure with the information in my report? I started to get concerned since the brass barbed fitting I’m going to use in the black underground cresline pipe is rated for 100 PSI. Will try to see if I can make out the cresline rating on the pipe.

Appreciate any help in advance.

Edit: incoming supply pipe is 100 PSI rated as well, can’t find specs on the pump, not under the well cap. Installed in 1990, location is Maryland.
