Water pressure booster for small house?

[eppich8479]

I have water service but i dont think i have 60 psi. I did some work for a guy and he had a well, and some gadget that would do on demand water pressure. It had 5 gallon pressure tank. And it would click as water was used. I think it was 120v, not solar directly, but solar after inverter.

Im looking for something like this.

Id get a pressure tester and see what it actually is first.

do you have a pressure reducing valve installed? first thing I'd do is crank that higher.

they have multiple gadgets and methods to boosting the pressure tho.

a simple inline pump works well

I’m on solar and have a well. We pump water from the well using a solar well pump into a surface cistern. From there we just use a normal jet pump to pressurize the house. A pressure tank is after the jet pump of course so that it doesn’t cycle on and off as frequently, and the pressure tank is set at 60/40 pressure.

Basically, there are a ton of options to set your water pressure at whatever you want if you have a well, or control your water supply.

If you have city water then - as the others have noted - either check what your pressure actually is, check to see if you have a pressure reducing valve (city water is normally notoriously over pressurized), and if your city pressure truly is low before it gets to your house, then you can install a booster pump.

No, i have installed the main water line and the meter from the water company's shut off. I didnt install a pressure reducer.

Its a very rural area. I wasnt really sure the plumbing didnt have issues so i proactively changed it out because i heard the previous renters had bypassed the street shut off with sharkbytes. The water company gave me a new pit. I did everything new from there.

I dont think i have good pressure because the sprinklers dont go very high maybe 6'
