If you are referring to a well pressure tank, this is how -
It should have an 'air charge' of approximately 27-28 psi. If this air charge has gone down, then your water pressure will be lower. If this tank is very old, possibly silver or green in color, then it's a "galv tank' and is possibly 'waterlogged'. This means you have to recharge the air with a compressor (just like blowing up an auto tire) To do this,switch off the pump. Open a faucet near the tank and let most of the water out. When you think it's nearly empty, close the valve to house and pump in with the compressor till the needle on your tank gauge points to 27. Now switch on the pump and the pressure should be improved. -IF your tank is a pale blue one, then chances are it's a 'bladder' tank and low pressure means your bladder is leaking. -You can pump it just as I said already, but in this case it will only last 2-3 months. You basically need a new tank.
What else can I help you with?
Four of us are on a shared well at your house you have 38 psi you need to raise the pressure to 60 psi do you need a pump and pressure tank?
If your all on a well, you already have a Pump and a Pressure Tank. If you can't get that Pump to make 60 psi, there is something wrong with it and it will need a Serviceman to diagnose the problem. I suggest a Well Driller or Pump expert.
How many lbs of pressure in a water tank?
Static or pressurized tank?
How do you increase well water pressure?
This is done at the pressure tank. First drain the tank with pump off, then check air pressure at the tank top nipple. It should be above 26 psi. If not this is your problem. You may need a new tank or it it's a 'galvanised ' tank , a new air charge. You may also need the pressure switch adjusted, or even a new one. -Call a well technician for an expert opinion and repair.This is done at the pressure tank.

What is the function of an expansion tank and compression tank?
this is tha tank where the pressure expand and force to out side. T.J.
What will cause low water pressure on a residential house with a well?
There are many cause of this, but the primary reasons are in the pressure tank. The tank MUST have residual air pressure of around 27 psi to drive the water system. To analyse further I need to know what kind of tank you have and what air pressure is in it when the water ceases to flow. I need to know what pressure your pump starts and if the tank feels heavy (full of water) when the pressure is low.
What do you use to raise the temperature on a fish tank?
A heater can raise the temperature of a fish tank if needed
When was Raise the Pressure created?
Raise the Pressure was created in 1994.
Where is the fuel pressure sensor located on the 2001 silverado?
That would be the electric switch that is mounted to the top of the fuel sending unit on the top of the fuel tank. You will either have to raise the bed are remove the fuel tank to get to in.
What is a fuel tank pressure sensor?
A fuel tank pressure sensor is a device used to measure the pressure in a fuel tank.
Why is the bladder tank pressure too low?
The bladder tank pressure may be too low due to a leak in the tank, a faulty pressure switch, or insufficient air pressure in the tank.
What is the relationship between the water pressure, tank air pressure, and the overall performance of a water pressure tank system?
The water pressure in a tank system is directly related to the tank air pressure. The tank air pressure helps regulate the water pressure and overall performance of the system. If the tank air pressure is too low, the water pressure may drop, affecting the system's efficiency. Conversely, if the tank air pressure is too high, it can cause the water pressure to be too high, potentially damaging the system. Maintaining the correct balance between water pressure and tank air pressure is crucial for optimal performance of the water pressure tank system.

Does fludrocort raise or lower blood pressure?
raise
Does the static pressure in your pressure tank change if the pressure switch was increased?
The pressure in the tank will vary from your cutin pressure to your cutout pressure. If you increased the pressure in the system, your air-charge will now be wrong. A good rule of thumb is cutin - 2 psi.
Does a larger tank give better pressure?
Physical size of a tank is irrelevant to it's pressure rating.
How do you pump up the pressure in a cold water tank?
residual air pressure in the tank, and the pressure switch settings
What is the range for air pressure in the tank?
