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.
