low water pressure from my well

Asked Jul 24, 2012, 01:06 PM — 3 Answers
I have a well and it has very low water pressure. I was told that I could do an acid treatment on it and that would help with the pressure. Is that true or should I try something else?

What are the settings on your control box? What does your pressure gage read? Have you always had low pressure or did it just start? Let me know, Tom

Answer Speeball's questions. I've never heard of an acid treatment that would help pressure. That is controlled by the pressure switch.

Do you mean the pressure is low, or do you mean you just can't run much water before the running out of water?
