DIY guy, gotta lot to learn
Total newbie here. I bought a home about a year ago and it has a well. I’m getting rust out of the pressure tank and I’m going to replace it with a new one.
The old one was a 20 gallon with the pressure switch set at 30 and 50. We’ve had a problem with low pressure at all our faucets and appliances.
The new tank is 32 gallons and comes pre-charged at 38 pounds. I bought a new 40/60 switch.
Before I install it, how can I know if my current well and submersed pump can support the new setup? It’s below ground obviously, so I don’t see an ID plate or any specs. Just a well head out in the yard. We’ve never had a shortage of water, just low pressure. Previous owner was 96 and moved to Florida after selling. Can’t ask him!
