Re: [DIY] Low Water pressure from private well

Hello Donna,

Sounds as if you need to check the pressure switch at the well, as you say that the pressure is low all over the house.

The pressure should be set at 40psi cut in for well and 60psi for cut off. This is my first suggestion ma'am.

AGAPE,

jdb, txredneck

Subject: [DIY] Low Water pressure from private well

I have searched through these posts and recall seeing one that suggested backflushing the pipes due to age and possible sediment (my house was not lived in for about a year and it is old to begin with).

Can anyone give me feedback or their techniques?

My pressure is low throughout the house and if someone flushes a toilet the kitchen sink would slow down to a trickle. The overall house pressure is slow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
