Increased pressure with dirty water

[Hkymomhockey]

Our water pressure was terrible. So, we increased our well water pressure from roughly 20/40 to roughly 56/32, and our water is now running dirty. Any ideas? I love the better pressure, bit I cannot have dirty water. I should note that I have a very large pressure tank. I think it is 220 gallons, and it is a few years old. Also, how does one find out the depth of the well and how far down the pump is set? Thank you

Put dirty water into a glass or jar. How long does it take for the dirt to settle out? What color is the stuff in the water?

What brand of tank?

I've seen cheap diaphram/bladder tanks fail when the pressure gets increased and all the accumulated crap in the tank floods the system.

Wonder if he adjusted his air pressure after setting up water pressure?
