Having Trouble With Your Well Water Pressure?
If you use well water, chances are at one point you have experienced extremely low well pump water pressure. If so, here are some tips on how to increase it.
- Check the Air Pressure in Your Water Tank
If your water tank has air pressure issues, it will cause the pump to lose power and ultimately cause you to lose pressure. The perfect way of solving this issue is by getting an electric submersible pump that works with your existing jet. - Pump Age
Newer pumps produce more water pressure. If your pump is very old, it may need to be replaced with a newer one. - Pressure Switch
A faulty pressure switch can cause low water pressures and should be replaced if this is the case. - Check for Water Leaks
One of the most common causes of low water pressure in wells is leaks in pipes along your waterline. This must be fixed by professionals ASAP. - Check for Restrictions
Restrictions can come from many different sources such as sediment buildup, debris buildup, rust, and more. - Water Heater Connection
If one of your water heaters is not working correctly, you will lose pressure because it draws on your pump for power. - Check Your Filter
Sediment or debris from pipes will plug up filters causing low water pressures. Regular cleaning is the best solution. - Check Your Pressure Setting on Pump
Sometimes, the pressure switch on a pump can be set too low to handle high volumes of water. - Contact a professional
This is the ultimate solution. Have a professional technician inspect and solve the problem.
