Just let your filter get dirty and the pressure will increase.
To increase the flow rate from the norm a bigger pump will be
required.

How do you increase water pressure on a swimming pool filter?
Is this pressure of water going in a filter or pressure of water
coming out a filter? Do you mean increase the flow of water? An
increase in the filter pressure alone without going to a larger
size impeller or newer pump will only indicate that the filter is
getting dirty. If you need more flow consider changing the impeller
or even upgrading the pump BUT you have to know what the outcome of
that change will be. You have to know what the hydraulics and pump
curve is in order to keep from overpumping the water. Too much flow
can be detremental to the plumbing, the pump, the heater. Going to
a large size pump most likely now increase your flow if the pipes
can not handle that extra flow of water. Sometimes whrn a pump is
not sized properly - going to a smaller size pump or impeller -
whichever the case may be - will increase the flow of water or GPM.
There is a is a trick or formula for sizing pool pumps, filters and
heaters to a particular pool.

How do you increase Water pressure going out from filter to pool?
Clean the filter, enlarge the filter, enlarge the pipes coming
from and or to the filter, enlarge the pool pump, If you have a
cartrige filter put another one in paralel next to it.
Asked in Swimming Pools, Pool Care and Cleaning
What is the correct way to backwash an inground swimming pool?
Let me say first backwashing is a process for simply ridding the
filter of dirt, once you backwash the pressure and cleanness of the
filter will begin to collect and store more dirt from the pool,
Look at the gauge at the filter remember the pressure or write it
down as the pressure goes up the flow of water going back to the
pool will go down to the point that very little water will go back
into the pool. When the pressure is low the water flow from the
filter will be high meaning that the filter is not clogged or
dirty.

How much pressure does water increase in a water line going down hill?
Pressure certainly does increase in a water line going down
hill. This is because the weight of the water pulls it.
Asked in Body Piercing
Can you going swimming after belly button piercing?
Wait at least 2 months. Longer would be better. Water is filled
with bacteria so going swimming with a new piercing will greatly
increase the risk for infection which can lead to rejection.

the current.
Asked in Plumbing
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.
Asked in Science, Physics, Chemistry
What happens to gas if the temperature and pressure decrease?
If the temperature decreases, the volume is also going to
decrease, and if the pressure decreases, the volume is going to
increase. So they balance each other out, if they are decreased at
the same rate.

Will going from a 3 tap to a 6 tap increase water preassure?
no the pressure will be the same,you will get more volume only
if your pumps can handle the gpm ,to increase pressure you may need
a booster pump or a single pump that is rated for your needs

What should you do if you have an above-ground pool with a sand filter and the pressure gauge is only reading at 5 but you changed the sand in the filter and it still won't raise the pressure?
You may need a new pressure gauge. They are inexpensive and can
be found at any place that sells pool products.
OR
That may be all that you are going to get out of the system you
have.

What kind of exeercises do you have to do increase cardiorespatory?
Have you tried going out and running? I find that is the best
way to increase cardiorespiratory fitness. You might try cycling or
swimming also. If you have trouble with those start out with a
brisk walk for about 30 minutes.
Asked in Flats and Tire Pressure, Chemistry
Why is it advisable not to increase the air pressure in a car tire to full limit when driving on hot day?
The air expands due to increase in temperature, so expanding
causes the pressure to build up going above the full limit that was
already there to begin with.
Asked in Chevy Camaro
Why does oil pressure drop when coming to a stop in a 1999 camaro 3.8L?
The pressure is lower as the engine is at slower rpms. The oil
filter could be clogged or the oil pump might be going bad.
Asked in Oldsmobile Alero
Why is my oil pressure light going on at idle on my Oldsmobile alero?
The oil pressure is dropping at this time. A clogged oil filter,
clogged oil pump screen or failing oil pump can be the cause.
Asked in Blood Pressure
What effect can exercise have on blood pressure?
Exercise is most likely going to increase systolic blood
pressure. This is to increase the amount of oxygen getting to your
muscles as muscles need oxygen to function. This is also the reason
why you need to breathe a lot more during exercise.

Where is the oil pressure switch located on a 95 mark VII and does it leak oil?
It's in the area of the oil filter, wires going to it. Can leak

Asked in Science
Why does the driver wear a metalic cover while going into the sea?
Pressure = hdg
Implies Pressure is Directly proportional to the depth. Which
means that as we go down the sea into the depth, pressure increases
and hence to protect oneself from this huge pressure he must wear a
swimming suit.
Or Sea will Crush his / her body lol
