How do I increase water pressure in my shower with 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.
Will a new shower head fix water pressure?
Depending on your current flow rate, you may be able to increase the flow simply by removing the filter or restricting device, or replacing the showerhead with a higher-flow model, such as increasing to a standard 2.5 GPM head. Before you change the showerhead, make sure that the new model is legal in your area.
