How to increase water pressure without a pump?

Published in Water Pressure Adjustment 1 min read

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.
