I have low water pressure in my house to the point that if I flush a toilet I get practically no water anywhere else .
Stats : 2 story house. 2 full baths. clothes washer, dish washer, water heater, 3 outdoor spigots. Shallow well ( maybe 125 ft ) . Jet pump . Water tank rated at max. 75 psi ( I think non-bladder type ). Iron filter installed . 30/50 switch . Very old air volume control. Pressure gauge on tank ( shows normal 30/50 psi ). No nipple to pump air into tank.
What I 've done : I drained tank several times in the hope that tank was water logged ( No help ) . I changed from a 20/40 switch to the 30/50 switch ( slight, but unacceptable pressure gain ).
Only thing I can think of to change is the 30/50 switch to a 40/60 switch and replace old air volume control. Any reason I shouldn 't do this ?
Sure could use ya 'll 's advice and suggestions .
