I have a well/septic system in my house that has been installed about 5 years. For a long time, we have put up with low flow in our shower. The thing that puzzles me is that after the shower runs for a few minutes, the pressure comes up to a somewhat acceptable standard. When the pressure comes up, it's a very quick transition, not a gradual building of pressure.
House is all PVC piping I believe. WellXtrol accumulator tank. When I look at the pressure guage, sometimes it reads about 48psi, other times around 38psi.
1) What is the target high pressure for a household system? I see several models of pressure switches on the market. Some 30-50psi, some 40-60psi.
2) Is a 10psi gap too large? Is that what's causing the flow rate change?
3) How do I adjust the switch? There are two spring-loaded switches, is there a guide to adjusting them?
Thanks for the help.
