Hi gang.
Apologies if this has been asked before under different wording.
Just curious what some of my options might be.
I have a 30/50 pressure switch. The air in the tank when empty I made to be 28 psi. The standing PSI when idle (with air and water) is about 38 PSI.
The pump cuts in when it drops to 30 psi and cuts out at 50, as per the switch. I have a submersible pump but have no idea what type or HP rating.
Now, my wife is used to city water so the drastic reduction in water pressure was a shock to her. I know I can never get to city water pressure but is there something I can do to increase the pressure?
I figure if I can get the pressure to somewhere between 40-50 it should be ok. BTW no design plans regarding well depth as it was built 20 yrs go and paper records are long since gone.
thanks in advance.
