My wife and I just bought a little place on some acreage. The water pressure is really low. Our neighbor said to turn up the pressure at the pressure tank. He said that his is set to about 30 psi. Before I even touched ours it was set to 70 psi (on the guage near the pressure tank). At 70 psi, the flow inside is very low. I have cleaned all of the faucet screens of mineral deposits, but the flow is still low.
At the kitchen sink the flow rate is 1 gl/ 52 sec. Is this about right? Any info, web site links etc would be appreciated.
Mr and Mrs Previous owner knew absolutely nothing about the well besides depth 170' and that they thought they bought the next to the largest pump. They've been wrong on a lot of their other info so who knows.
Thanks
Clint
