Just bought a house new pump with new bladder, when they hooked it up the line goes to the pump down to the bladder and they got a T in the middle and its running to the house! Pressure in house sucks! It I move the T down to the bladder tank will that help?

Moving the tank won't increase the house pressure. More details please! What's the bladder tank charged at with the pump off and a hose bib opened to bleed off the pressure? What's the cut in and cut out on the control box? What does the pump gage read when the pump shuts off? What's the house pressure? You'll need a hose bib gage (see image) to check this. Do you have low pressure throughout the house or just certain taps? Back to you, tom

What if I move the T down to bladder? It is in the middle have way from pump to bladder so its pump on right side then 5 feet line to the T then from T to the left is 5 feet of line and then bladder and at the T in the middle it goes to the house! There is no gage anywhere down there so I have no idea how much pressure! When I start the washer it starts to fill and the water is good for about a min and then it gets slow! U turn on kitchen faucet and the pressure is real weak

Ok so I found out last night that there is no water in the bladder tank. The lady that was going to get the house before me put in a new pump and bladder so she must of put it in wrong because we have water in house but it starts strong and then goes weak, no gauges on the pump or no shut off valves! On the bladder tank it says 100 pounds of air in tank, at the bottom of it she has a 90 degree elbow is that suppost to be a T fitting?

What does it ell off to? There's got to be a tee in there someplace taking off foe the bladder tank.

Let's start by charging your bladder tank. Shut the pump off and open a hose bib to bleed off the pressure, Your tank should be pressured up a 2 PSI UNDER the cut in point on the control box, Turn the pump back on and see if it doesn't work better now. Here's how bladder tanks work. *see image)n Good luck, Tom
