Default Water Pressure Range Question

I hope you have a couple barrels of water in the cellar. For
the day when the pump breaks, or the water tubing leaks.

Is there really no noticeable difference between 40 PSI and
60 PSI?


There is for me. We're on a well with a storage tank located
about 250' away and
100' below the house grade. A 5 stage booster pump set to
output 65 psi at the
tank level results in about 40 psi at the entrance to the
first floor of the
house, less after distribution throughout the first floor
and even less on the
second floor.

Would love to have 60psi at the house entrance, but that
would involve replacing
the booster pump with a very expensive 8 stage booster pump
or installing a
second booster at the house.
