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.


Which kind of well does not need a pump?

A well that does not need a pump is called a "flowing artesian well." This type of well taps into a confined aquifer under pressure, allowing water to flow naturally to the surface without mechanical assistance. The pressure in the aquifer forces the water up through the well, often resulting in a continuous flow. Flowing artesian wells are typically found in areas with specific geological conditions that create the necessary pressure.


What is the function of foot valve in the pump?

A foot valve, in relation to a water well, is a check valve at he bottom of a well to keep the water from running back into the well from the pump when the pump is not running. If the check valve does not hold the water the pump will lose it's prime and will not pump water.


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 if your pump will not pump water from your well?

There are a number of problems that might cause a well not to produce water. There could be some kind of electrical problem and the pump might not be powered up. Or the motor for the pump may have failed. The pump may have lost its prime and cannot pump water (depending on the type of pump), and the water table might have become lower and the pump is now above it and dry. Think about how the pump worked before, and how it works now, and then compare the two "observations" to see if there are any differences. Does the pump sound like it comes on? Open a tap and, while listening at the tap, have someone turn on the pump. Troubleshoot this and return with a more specific question if you can.

How can I change a well pump?

To change a well pump, you will need to first turn off the power to the pump. Then, disconnect the old pump from the water system and remove it from the well. Install the new pump in the well and reconnect it to the water system. Finally, turn the power back on and test the new pump to ensure it is working properly.
