I've been meaning to ask this question as well. the new house has crappy water pressure, and is on a well. well pump just replaced, have between 45 and 60 p.s.i., per the pump guy, 60 is the max beca
Hi Scott, I have lived with 45 - 60 psi water pressure for years. I think you are going to a lot of trouble for little gain. Yeah - I guess booster pumps work, but as you outline, a lot of problems.
So get a decent storage tank ! It'll be a lot cheaper than building a water tower or buying booster pumps. And there's at least a fair chance you can just adjust the switch on your current pump for
get is I stumbled on the conversion factor: Feet of water x .433 equals #psi. So , to get 90 psi, you're gonna have to go a little over 200 feet high! You're also gonna have to have 90 # psi to pump
In addition to Dave's remarks, I don't think you really want more than 60 psi in your home - higher pressure is very hard on things like toilet tank valves, ice makers, water heaters, and other fixtu
Water head pressure is equal to 44#/100ft. Do you really want a 200ft tall tower next to your house? We run on 35-50# and it's fine. I had 90psi at the cabin and kept blowing up hoses and the pipes w
Does anyone happen to know the exact procedure for this? I have a cottage with a deep well and a submerged pump that can deliver lots of volume and pressure to the tank. However, my pump switch setti
BTDT. We had a problem with the water system in our first house. Although the normal water pressure was around 50 PSI, the pressure would occasionally surge to around 100 PSI. I awoke in the middle o
My setup has an air-charged pressure tank with internal bladder. There's a regular Schrader-style air valve on its top. The water line has a pressure gauge. Switch is the very common Square-D one. He
I've taken showers at 25 psi and didn't have any problem ... might be worth temporarily teeing in a pressure gauge at the head and seeing just how much pressure you have under actual conditions. Cra
I have a two pump system. My deep well pump delivers the water to my tank, which is a 1300 gallon square concrete tank buried in the ground. The top of the tank is the foundation for the pump house.
