How do I increase water pressure in my home? My water sourse is a dug well. The shower needs help.

You have a switch that cuts the pump on a some point and cuts it off at a higher point. Will generally be 20-40 or 30-50. What is yours?

Hey Danelzka

Answer jlisenbe's questions

Then real quick.. answer mine. How old is your shower valve? Depending on age of shower, the shower head may have a volume reducing washer in it. This has been reuired for some time now.

Here, remove shower head and look inside the head... you may see a perforated plastic disc with a black o-ring inside it. If so, remove the o-ring using an awl, or similar sharp tool to grab and pluck the o-ring from the disk. Then teflon tape the shower arm (4-6 wraps clockwise) and re-install the shower head. That may help in this case.

Answer questions... Maybe Jilsenbe can help increase pressure to whole house (never ever a bad thing.. ;) ).

Keep me updated, please. Mark

That's a real good point. Especially if the shower is the only problem, then it would certainly be worth looking at. Wish I had thought of that.
