RE: You Want To Homestead? Part Five!

We do not have hard water here which is a blessing and I have no copper fittings either. I may go out and turn it down to 50 PSI. I had it high because there will be lots of houses on the well but not right now. It may have to be turned up later but right now I do not need that pressure. I, like you, are learning as we go. I just knew city water is at 60 PSI and the well guys left it there as it was set there in the beginning.

Yea and they blow pipes all the time LOL
Its easier to turn it up then it is to have a problem because its to high. as the demand on water is increased you can always turn it up.
The pressure on my tank is also 40 lbs. it gives a good balance to the amount of water in the tank and air. the more air pressure you have in the tank the less water it can hold.
