Well Pump Water Pressure Varies

Basic well pump water pressure guide if you live in a highly populated area your water pressure is controlled by the municipal water system and is usually around 60 psi pounds per square inch.

Well pump water pressure varies. This can be compounded if the overall water level in the well varies since the water in the well above the pump serves as a store of water that can be pumped out without needing to be immediately replenished. As pipes leak or clogs move around inside the pipes water pressure can vary and fluctuate. It is normal for building water pressure to vary between 20 40 psi or 30 50 psi depending on how your pump pressure control switch is set. If the overall water level drops that will reduce your storage above the pump and often also reduce your recharge rate.

However if you live in the countryside and have a well water supply your water pressure is likely controlled by your well pump pressure switch. Unless you have a well and pump your household water pressure should remain constant but it may vary considerably when appliances showers sprinklers or other water using devices are engaged.
