How do you increase water pressure in your house when the outside meter is only 50 psi?

get a water pump and hook it up after the water meter. the only other way would be running 3/4 water line from the meter than reducing it to 1/2 inch water line before it reaches the tub or sink.that would help with some pressure,but it will not be a drastic change, buying a water pump would be the best idea if you want a big differance.
Ans 2 - 50 psi is quite adequate normally. You must have blockages somewhere inside. Possibly in the aerators, the stop valves under sink and toilet and in the water heater. -At least investigate these first- it may save you a lot of money.

Electricity is measured where?
Your electrical consumption is measured at the meter that is located on the outside of most residential homes. This meter is located at the bottom of the meter stack at eye level for the meter reader to take the readings. Usually just after the meter base the conduit enters the house and ends at the distribution panel.
Can more wires be ran from the meter base to supply a shop from your house?
No, you cannot put but one set of wires in a meter base. The way to go about this, is to mount an outside panel beside your meter base. Panel sized to existing house service, equipped with two main breakers. One to re-feed the house panel the other to feed your shop.
Where the circuit breakers are located?
If your circuit breakers are in the garage, they would be in a electrical panel (a metal box mounted on a (usually) outside wall, with the electric meter on the outside. The circuit breakers can be either just below the meter on the outside on opposite it inside the garage. It would usually be very close to where the electric connection to the house is. The electrical panel and breakers are not necessarily in the garage.

What is kilopasl in pressure sense?
1 Pascal of pressure = 1 newton of force on 1 square meter of area1 kilopascal = 1,000 newtons of force on 1 square meter, or 1 newton of force on 0.001 square meter, etc.
Meter used in a sentence?
Our electricity meter is outside the house.
On the decibel scale an increase of 10 decibels means an intensity increase of times?
10 decibels increase mean measured on a sound pressure level meter. SPL meter. Forget the intensity, because the ear drums and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure. 10
How much will the pressure increase for one cubic meter of air when heated by one degree c?
it'll increase by alot
How do you get meter reading?

What size gas meter do you need on your house if I am installing a tankless hot water heater?
Standard meter will suffice, need to know pressure from meter to house. Size pipe appropriately for gas pressure coming into house X distance to water heater. Gas company or plumber should be able to help with this calculation.

Humidity meters are used to measure the humidity outside. Typically, these would be placed on the outside of your house to accurately measure the humidity.
Plans to replace a low pressure gas line from meter to house?
Pleas hire a ticketed technician.
Can you increase your water pressure in house by increasing size of supply line from the meter?
No. Increasing the size of the water supply will only increase the volume of water not the pressure. If you only want more pressure in your shower you could just change your shower head to a water saver one. That will decrease the volume of water while increasing the pressure. But if you want more pressure over all that won't work. You would need to turn up your pressure switch, if you have a well. If you have city water than you don't have a pressure switch and you would need to get a well tank w/ pressure switch installed by a professional. Good Luck!
Why pressure gauge is called a gauge not a meter?

Does increasing gas meter size override need to increase pipe size?
No. Meters are set for different outgoing pressures. Higher pressure coming out meter allows for smaller piping to be used. A gas pressure regulator will be needed at each appliance to reduce gas pressure to required gas pressure for appliance. Gas company should be able to take care of meter. Gas company or plumber should know how to size piping.
