💧Adjust your Well Water Pressure Up or Down 

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for tuning in 👍

@@Matt-bd5wc The pressure will be left at 90/110 all summer. We need it set there to push water up hill. When the cattle are moved back to winter pasture, which is mostly lower elevation than the well head, I will set pressure back down. There is enough elevation drop in the 5 miles of winter pasture pipeline run, that we need two pressure reducing valves. As for the floats, they work simply on water level. They are just larger versions of the old style floats used in toilets. Running high pressure is not ideal. It is hard on old pipes. It is just what we have to do in the summer because of were the well is and were summer pasture is.

The pressure tank supplies constant water pressure. Also the tank prevents the well pump from short cycling (On/Off). It is better for a pump to just run. The start and stop is hard on the pump motor and will wear it out faster. Another help from the tank is to reduce water hammer. If the tank bladder fails and the tank becomes water logged (No Air) the pump will start turning on and off constantly, every time a little water is called for. The 2-3 PSI below cut-in is to provide water while the pump is starting - without it, pressure will drop to zero (or very nearly) every time when water runs out but the pump is still spinning.

Do you have a deep well submersible pump, or do you have a different set up. Like a cistern or spring.
