    Increase water pressure from a well
    I made the pressure change and just wanted to mention... our water has since turned brown with sediment which I attribute to the extra water pressure creating pump movement in the well and stirring up sediments... we've since reversed the increased pressure and went back to our original tank and pump pressures... now we have to wait a few days to see if our water returns to "normal." Don't know if others experienced this but perhaps someone wants to offer a comment or two on why this happened... happen to anyone else?
