My well is about 75 yards from my house, I used 2 inch pipe to go from my well to the house, I have water pressure that will almost take the skin off your hand at the pump and outside before the house. But inside my water pressure is low, the water leaves the pump bladders I have two and goes through my water softner then to my house. I was wondering if I put another small bladder up at my house if it would increase my water pressure in the house?

Before I did that, I would break the pipe the last place you have good pressure and back flush from where you don't, hoping to wash some crud out that is restricting the flow. Don't back flush the softener, it could disturb the resin bed.

"inside my water pressure is low."
What material is the house piping made of? Copper? Galvanized? CPVC?
