    Increase water pressure from a common well
    Our house in the condominium block we live is on the highest part just beside the well.
    All the other houses seem to have good water pressure what can we do?

    You would need to add a booster pump in your home.

    If all the other units on the system have good pressure then the problem in your system. Tell me more about your loss of pressure. Is it on all taps? Did this just happen or has it been ongoing? When you open a cold water faucet does the flow dwindle down to a trickle? Let me know, Tom

    You seem to be saying that you have the lowest pressure because your dwelling has the highest elevation. Is that the story?

    jlisenbe, that's the way I took it too. If that's the case, booster pump seems to be the way to go. What do you think?
