Low Water Pressure - City Water
I have a raised-elevation freestanding house on city water at the end of the line with a long driveway. The problem is low water pressure throughout the house. It's low coming into the house (20 psi or so...) Otherwise..., the plumbing is OK. This causes all sorts of incoveniences. Showers have no power. Basin faucets go to a trickle if the washing machine kicks on, etc. I know there are various booster pumps available. Are there any alternatives? I was thinking of some sort of bladder tank arrangement with a pump similar to well-water systems or possibly a standpipe... Wondering if anyone can recommend the best solution, what worked for them, and discuss pros and cons. Beachcomber |
