    Water well pressure
    Hey guys, I've been having water pressure issues and I can't find a solution. It's a private well pump, aqua air v60. If I turn the filter bypass on, the pressure is awesome, but with the filter on the pressure sucks. I know very little about water wells besides what I have read online so keep any suggestions simple.

    Probably not weird at all. Your filter is clogging up which drops the volume to next to nothing. How long have you had this filter?

    About 2 weeks. I have another one I could switch it out I guess. I kind of thought they didn't have to be changed that often but I guess its worth a shot.

    I had same problem and changed filter. Pressure back to normal.

    Don't try to clean filter and reuse. Inner part of filter is a more solid substance and does not clear out. Tried that.
