If you have a three-eighths line feeding a three-quarters line and need more water flow will a pressure tank solve the flow problem?
The only solution (I know of) is to increase the size of the supply line(pipe). Water works on volume, both lines have to be equal or supply line has to be larger in order to acheive more flow. Pressure does not increase volume, it's the exact opposite, volume increases pressure. Hope it helps!
As a band-aid solution, yes. Install the tank where the supply line increases. When you use water, it will draw from the 3/8" supply, and whatever the line cannot supply the tank will provide. When the faucet is closed, water will continue flowing from the 3/8" supply until the tank is full again. You will have the same volume of water over a period of time, so if you drain the tank totally or do not give it time to refill you will have the same limited flow as before. It would also be wise to install a chack valve at the inlet to the system. You will need a pressure gauge on the system to set the air charge correctly.
As mantioned above, replacing the 3/8" pipe is the best solution. 3/8" inch pipe is very small and cannot supply a normal sized house. However, if you cannot a tank will provide a temporary solution.

How do you know if a pressure reducing valve is bad?
A pressure reducing valve may be faulty if you notice fluctuating water pressure, consistent water hammer, or leaks around the valve. Additionally, if the pressure gauge shows significantly higher or lower readings than expected, or if there are issues with appliances that require specific pressure levels, it could indicate a problem. Unusual noises or difficulty adjusting the pressure can also signal a malfunctioning valve.
Do you need a pressure gauge on your well pump?
Yes, a pressure gauge on your well pump is important as it helps monitor the water pressure in the system, ensuring it operates efficiently. It can alert you to potential issues, such as low pressure indicating a problem with the pump or well, or high pressure that could lead to system damage. Regularly checking the gauge can help maintain optimal performance and extend the lifespan of the pump.

What is the problem in a well pressure tank system after you replaced bladder tank and pressure switch Pressure goes up to 50 drops to 40 then after a minute it falls to 0?
Your pump has a leak and the water in the pressure tank is going back down into your well. The only other possibility is that you have a leaking pipe in/under your house. If that's the case, get it fixed immediately or you will have irreversible mold damage.
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.
