You can often increase water pressure without a pump by adjusting the main water supply valve.
Here's how to potentially increase your water pressure without installing a pump, based on available information:
Adjusting the Main Water Supply Valve
One way to try and increase water pressure is by making adjustments at the main water supply valve.
- Locate the Valve: Find the main water supply pipe, typically located near your water meter.
- Identify the Adjustment Bolt: Look for a bolt on top of the valve.
- Increase Pressure (Carefully):
- Tighten the bolt in small increments.
- Use a pressure gauge to monitor the PSI.
- Aim for a pressure between 40 and 60 PSI.
- Important Note: Make small adjustments at a time and check the pressure to avoid over-pressurizing your system.
