Hello,
We changed our well pump 5 days ago. Water is was clear later that first day and the chlorine smell gone after 2 days. How long till we can drink the water? How can we increase the water pressure? Thank you!

Your well was chlorinated. It should be OK to drink after the chlorine taste is gone.
On a Square-D Pumptrol pump pressure switch, Turtn the larger spring.(#1) clockwise to raise [both] cut-on and cut-off pressures.
In other words, adjusting the pressure on this spring shifts the whole operating range of the switch up or down, but keeps the difference between cut-in and cut-out the same, whatever it happens to be (typically it's about 20 psi from the factory.
Turn the smaller spring.(#2) clockwise to raise the cut-out pressure only.
In other words, adjusting the pressure on this spring shifts just the pump cut-out pressure up (clockwise) or down (counter-clockwise).
This should give you the pressure you desire. Good luck, Tom
