How do I adjust my well water?
The simplest way to increase your well water pressure is to adjust the pressure switch on your pressure tank. Pressure tanks have both “cut-on” and “cut-off” pressure settings. When the water pressure in your tank drops below the cut-on level, the pressure switch activates and increases the pressure in the tank.
