Can you adjust well pump pressure yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can adjust your well pump pressure relatively easily by yourself. You’ll need to remove the cover from your pressure switch and adjust a nut that controls cut-in pressure. Learn more about <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-adjust-pressure-switch-on-well-pump.htm">how to adjust a well pump pressure switch</a> with a step-by-step guide to setting your water pressure.</p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of a well pump?

• <div><p>Most submersible well pumps last eight to 15 years, depending on the quality, type, and how well they&rsquo;re maintained. Lower-quality submersible pumps that are poorly maintained will not last very long, but higher-quality pumps can last 15 to 25 years (or even longer). Jet pumps last eight to 10 years.</p></div>

Q: How do I set my well tank’s pressure?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-set-well-pressure-tank.htm">How do you set your well&rsquo;s pressure tank?</a> All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench&mdash;clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that&rsquo;s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a license to work on well pumps and water pumps?

• <div><p>Some states and municipalities restrict well pump repair and replacement to licensed plumbers and technicians, while others don&rsquo;t have requirements. However, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to hire a certified plumber to repair or replace well pumps and water pumps. Certified professionals are far more likely to get the job done correctly and prevent future issues, which is especially important for ensuring access to clean water for your home.</p></div>

Q: Will a bigger pressure tank give me better water pressure?

• <div><p>No, a bigger pressure tank has no effect on water pressure. To increase water pressure in your well water, gently adjust the tank&rsquo;s pressure settings to a higher psi (pounds per square inch). If you&rsquo;ve already done this, you can swap out your current pump for one with a higher flow rate, measured in gallons per minute (GPM). You can also call a pro to install a water pressure booster pump in your home plumbing system. If you experience fluctuations in water pressure, replace your current tank and pump with a constant pressure system.</p></div>
