Hot & Cold Water Pressure An Issue
We recently bought a house. Our water pressure is terrible and the hot water is even worse. :( (Basically dribbles out.) Are the two problems correctable by adjusting the "cut-in, cut-out" pressure? The well is about 50 feet from the house. Pressure tank inside the house in the basement which is about 9 feet underground and about 30 feet from the well; the hot water tank, however, is located in the basement at the back of the house and about 30 feet from the pressure tank also. Does the hot water tank have it's own pressure adjustment too? :confused:
Another concern is that if we manage to increase the pressure could this break the pipes? :eek:
Lastly, it would seem we may have air trapped in the line. When you turn on the kitchen faucet (cold water only) it runs for a few seconds then "pops" jolting the faucet and sending a sudden spurt of water into the sink dowsing everything in sight :eek: . I would imagine this is tough on the plumbing and would like to get it out, but I can't figure out how. :mad: Could this be the reason for the pressure problem?
