The only way to increase water pressure is with a booster pump. I would recommend talking to a plumber, he can give you an estimate and possibly some pointers. Also, home improvement shops tend to have poor pump selection so be sure to shop around from catalogs and the internet before buying anything.

Why is a scuba diver's air tank placed in a tub of water when being refilled?
Because compressing a gas increases its temperature. The increase in temperature increases the pressure further. By cooling the tank in water the tank can be filled with more air, it's also safer than having a very hot super high pressure tank at the end of the fill.
What happens if I increase the pressure to solid water?
If you put pressure on ice it will melt.
What will happen to the volume of gas in a tank if its temperature increased?
If the volume of the tank was effectivelly constant, and the tank was sealed to prevent gas escaping, the pressure of the gas would increase.
Does increase pressure in a tank increase its buoyancy?
no, it will not, in a compressible gas, the contents will increase in density, thus reducing its buoyancy. in an incompressible liquid or solid, no noticeable change will occur.
How do you reduce evaporation rate in boiling water?
Fit a lid or reduce the heat Evaporation rate will actually increase if you boil water at increased pressure as the vapour pressure, to achieve boiling, must increase to that pressure.
How do you increase water pressure from a gravity tank by increasing pipe sizes?
you cannot increase the pressure from a gravity tank by changing the pipe size, only the volume of water that will flow in a given period of time. The only way to increase the pressure is to increase the difference between the elevation of the tank and the elevation of the spigot. Many people will confuse an increase in water volume with an increase in water pressure, because, in both cases, more water will flow in a given period of time. ...moreincreasing the pipe size can reduce elevation loss due to friction which can translate in lay mans terms as an "increase in pressure"
How can I use a cold water storage tank to increase my water pressure?
By elevating it higher as every foot higher will increase the static pressure almost a half a pound
To increase the hot water pressure to the tap on your kitchen sink any suggestions?
PRESSURE INCREASES are normally effected by raising the height of water supply to increase the downflow. If this is not possible, increase the bore of the supply pipe from your tank.
Why would pressure rise in pressure tank?
The only two ways that come to mind are a temperature increase in the tank, or an increase in pressure in any feed lines supplying the tank.
Why do you need to have a water tank?
If water doesn't go into the pressure tank you will not have water pressure.
How do you fit a second tank in tandem to increase the hot water pressure?
Another tank will do nothing to increase the pressure. If it is city water, the pressure is regulated at themeter. The only thing that could increase it is to increase the size pipe supplying the fixtures. There is probably 3/4 inch coming into the house and it reduces to 1/2. The slight increase would probably not be worth the expense of doing. The pressure is still going to be the same, just more volume.
How can you increase water pressure with a 36 gallon tank and 2040 pressure switch?
If your pump is capable of making more pressure than it is now, you can turn up the pressure switch.
How would the pressure inside a scuba tank filled with gas change if the tank were heated?
The pressure will increase
How do you get more water pressure from your well?
Pump it into a storage tank and use an electric shower pump to increase pressure,Pump starts when a tap is turned on
Will a new water pump increase water pressure?
It's more a function of the pressure tank and pressure switch. -These MUST be set up properly. A badly adjusted or worn pump will still put water in the tank, just at a slower rate. -Any pump should put at least 5 gallons per minute in the tank, or it is ready to be renewed. Most low pressure in house is caused by low air pressure in the tank. You need a well technician to check this system - NOT a plumber.
How do you increase amount of water in a newly installed bladder pressure tank precharged to 38 psi 86 gal max drawdown 31 gal 30-50 psi on-off switch Tank seems to have no water in it after install?
The installer should have reduced the pressure in tank when fitting it. Tanks are commonly sent out with 38-45 PSI. It is up to the installer to adjust this. To increase the water capacity, reduce air from the top valve till it's about 28 psi with tank almost empty. Now adjust the pressure switch to turn ON at 30 PSI. The main screw on most pressure switches adjusts both low and high pressure points.
