    How to increase water pressure on a well?
    I know this has been asked. I just reviewed it from another poster. The only difference I have is that my area just went through a very large storm that knocked our power out for a week. (And we had just rewired the well house to another power source.)

    I'm not sure which was the true culprit, the storm or the rewiring, but after the power was restored, we noticed the water pressure was significantly less than it had been before. I'm just wondering if I should still increase the pressure the usual way or if this is an indicator of another problem?

    Thanks.

    What does that mean?

    Just turn the large center nut clockwise one full turn. Turn power back on and see what you have. Keep at it until you get what you want. If that doesn't work, then you have a problem somewhere else.

    I like HK's question. Do you mean you put it on a different breaker?
