Where is the inlet and outlet of your pressure tank?
A pressure tank for a pump & well potable water system only has one connection. To connect the pump and tank to your house's water inlet, simply connect the tank and pump together with pressure rated pipe, SCH 40 PVC works fine. In that line, cut in a TEE fitting, and from that T, connect the house inlet with a valve to shut the water off.
How do you low the water pressure?
Install a pressure reducing valve.Improved answerIf your home is on City water, then you have a PRV where it comes in the home, this can be adjusted to lower or raise pressure. To do this properly buy a pressure gauge that screws onto a garden faucet fixture. (about $10 in good plumbing stores) All you need to adjust the valve is 2 wrenches and some patience.If you are on a well this is a totally different problem. Here you need to reduce the air charge in your pressure tank, but adjust the pressure switch also. If you haven't done this before, call a well technician (NOT a plumber -they generally know nothing about well systems)

How can you increase the pressure in your bladerless water well tank?
Use an air compressor with an adapter fitting that will allow you to push air in through a spicket on the tank.

I then took off the gauge and installed a quick connect air fitting (standard on air equipment and air hoses).
