Low Water Pressure

[Jimmer]

Mark,

You mentioned that the water softner was not working. Is it possible that it is restricting your water flow? Have you considered bypassing it to see if your pressure problem gets solved. It the tank is holding its pressure than it is working properly.

Good luck, Jim

Jim,

I did bypass the watersoftner and that did not seem to make any difference at all. Thanks for the advice.

I finally found out what the problem was with the low water pressure. I have a small filter that I bypassed in the past and it did not make a difference. I changed the cartridge and changed from "bypass" to "on" position. The water pressure is much better now. I also replaced the watersoftner that I did have. Now the bladder tank that I do have is currently running in the range of 34-64psi. I would like to adjust the range to be only 20psi instead of 30psi difference. Any suggestions on how to change the range?

Thank You,
Mark

Mark; post back with the make, etc of your switch. It might be a Square D type. Hube
