    Well Water Low pressure
    I am having low pressure problems with my home all over the house. I was told it may be the water softener needing a new filter. I changed it and no difference. I don't know much about wells, so need some help. The pressure is staying @ 10 pounds. How can I narrow down my problem? Who should I call to get the best solution if I can't do it myself? Thanks in advance for any help.

    To eliminate the watersoftener issue, you can turn the softner off. Then open the by-pass and close the supply to the water softener.

    All water softners are installed with a by-pass system.
