I am having problems with low pressure in the morning. I start the shower and it takes 4-6 min to get to full pressure. I am also not happy with the "full" pressure. I bought this house 8 months ago, and this is the first time I have had a well. This is what I have:
1: Amtrol tank HT30
2: AO Smith motor c48h2pa105c1 1/2 hp
3: Sta-rite pump ALC-20 code F71
The motor and tank are 2 years old. The pump is about 1972 or so. The gauge on the pump reads 50psi. I am not against replaceing the pump, motor or tank if it gives me better pressure. I would like to get close to city water pressure. I just don't know if I need to step up the pump and motor or the tank or all. It is in a rambler style house in the basement. We have 1 full bath and 1, 3/4 bath, kitchen with dishwasher. We can not run any 2 items at the same time. We can not flush a toilet while showering.
Please help
Thanks
