Can My House Pressure Be as Strong as City Water Pressure?
« on: January 05, 2014, 06:03:40 PM »

You have your own water system.  You could have so much pressure at home that you would never want to visit a city and experience low pressure again.  But it is up to you.  You have to make it happen.

Check the size of pump you have and the depth to water in the well.  Many times the pump is plenty large enough to simply increase the pressure switch setting as you desire.  Then adding a Cycle Stop Valve to produce “constant pressure” in the house will make the pressure seem even stronger.

If your pump is undersized, you may need a larger pump to be able to turn the pressure up as high as you want.  But there is no reason for a house well system to have low pressure.  You could have 100 PSI and the shower would drill holes into you if you wanted that much pressure.  You are in charge of this water system.  Don’t settle for less than being comfortable.
