Water pressure too high
We live in a house where share a well with 3 other houses.what would cause the water pressure to keep going up over 100 psi on my gages . I replaced the pressure tank,the cut off switch 30/50 and all the pipes coming in from the well.where do I look next to solve this problem?

The part that determines the cut off is the pump control box. The replacement box should have shut the power off to the pump when it hit 50PSI. If it didn't, and if this is the only control box that's connected to the system, then the control box has to be faulty. Having said that and since this is a new control I would check the tubing that connects the pump to the control box for a clog or blockage. If this line's clogged it would cause the system you describe. Good luck, Tom

Hi, I am working to design a high pressure, cool water system (2000 psi) including spray nozzles and would like to know if either black iron pipe or galvanized pipe would be preferable. Things I'm concerned with are durability, cost, nozzles clogging... the water is only for cleaning, not for...
Greetings, My wife and I are in the process of updating 1957 side by side split level. The previous owner (OK, my Mom as I bought the house I grew up in from her) said that when they moved in they had to install a pressure reducer into the line. I have searched high and low but, I can't see...
