    How do I increase H2O pressure on well system with a water filtration system?
    Howdy, I would like to know how I can increase my water pressure. My current system uses a well pump with a small pressure tank, and "D" control valve. It then runs through a WATERSOFT filtration tank, RAINSOFT water softner, and on the Hot water side, an AQUASTAR on demand hot water system. I know that I can just adjust the control valve on the pressure tank for a well system without all the filtration, but can I do that for a system with the components I have? If not what are my options? Thanks for the assitance.

    Hi Rommel,

    I can show you how to increase pressure at the pump control box but for the adjustments on filtration systems you'll have to contact the manufacture.
    Good luck, Tom

    Thanks Tom, I read one of your threads earlier on increasing pressure at the pressure tank. I'll call the manufacture of my equipment to see what they suggest. Thanks again, Chris

Water central heating system loses pressure [ 5 Answers ]

The central heating system in my 50 year old home seems to be losing water pressure. We thought it might be due to some pipes that were running in a concrete slab and had leaked. We bypassed that, but now the pressure is still not holding. We see no leaks anywhere. Any ideas?

Water Pressure from Well System Fluctuates [ 2 Answers ]

The flow of water frequently will fluctuate. It will drop some for a 5 or 10 seconds and then resume the original rate. This occurs over a much shorter interval of time than the typical cycle when the pump comes on at 30 PSI to boost the pressure in the tank back to 50 PSI. Our system is 12...
