    Increase water pressure with well system
    I'm wanting to increase my water pressure in my house. I am on a well system with at controld device inline right after my pressure gauge and well tank with bladder. I saw an article that someone else ask about this, where you all gave instructions on increasing the water pressure by turning the low and high nuts on the controld device. I did that and it seemed to increase my pressure. Now that I have done that, I'm wondering what my well tank bladder pressure should be. My pressure gauge doesn't seem to move up or down when water is being used. Could it be broken. How am I to know what the cut in and out pressure is set at now. I put tire gauge on the well tank and it read 65lbs. Of course, I didn't have the power off and tank drained. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
