I have a well with a pump that provides 10 gal/min. The pump provides
water to the house, and a network of drip irrigation emitters within
200' of the house--1/4" tubing. There's a valve for drip irrigation
by the pump house, which provides water to about 8 trees. All of the
lines are on timers. The pump house has a bibb, and I put a pressure
gauge on it. It mostly reads 30 but I've see it all the way to 50.


Don't you have a pressure tank on the well? There should be a
pressure gauge there. If so you can probably set a higher pressure at
the tank and see if it makes any difference.
I examined the tank but didn't find a regulator. I'll call the people
who installed it years ago, and ask.

On the tank you should see only a bladder valve. The pressure is set at
the pump.
