    Can I add pressure to a well water system ?
    My water comes from a surface well 300 feet away from my house and 40 feet lower. It all runs through a 3/4 hp pump and I have good pressure for a sink and toilet.
    Now I want to add a shower and was wondering if I could add a second pressure tank on the system to avoid pressure fluctuations. Thanks for any help.

    One tank should be sufficient to operate these 3 items.

    I have 2 full baths with kitchen sink and dish washer with no problems.

    What is pressure (on/off) set at?

    If u have enough water will be fine with one tank.

    I'm on a well too with 3 baths, DW and clothes washer. You should be fine. Chances are all 3 of these items won't be working at one time.
