    How do I increase flow from my well?
    Hi, My system loads at 40 up to 60 like most systems, however, the flow is low. What can I do to increase the flow? I do have a bladder tank in the system, however, I don't have enough flow to keep a pressure washer (household type)fed at a rate it can continue to keep the unit running. The taps haven't enough flow to create a great deal of bubbles in the sink for washing dishes. We do have a new softener. We are hoping to sell our home and we have had people ask what the flow is in the system.

    Thanks in advance,

    Jeff

    What size pump do you have? Was the flow ever good? What is the bladder tank charge when the pump's shut off and the pressure's bled off by opening a cold water tap. Have you tried bypassing the water softener? Any house filters? Let me know what you find. Good luck, Tom
