How to Increase Water Pressure from Your Well
If you live in Anderson, Noblesville, Muncie, Pendleton, Tipton, Fishers, Westfield, Elwood, Cicero, or surrounding areas, low water pressure can be frustrating — but it’s usually fixable. Pressure issues may come from pump sizing, pressure tank problems, clogged components, or groundwater levels.
Common causes of low pressure include:
• Undersized pump for household demand
• Incorrect pressure switch settings
• Failing pressure tank bladder
• Sediment buildup in lines or screens
• Partially clogged drop pipe or fittings
• Aging pump reaching the end of its lifespan
In Madison and Delaware counties, sediment and iron buildup are common culprits. In Hamilton and Tipton counties, deeper wells may require specific pump configurations to maintain consistent pressure.
Potential solutions include:
• Adjusting pressure settings
• Installing larger pressure tanks
• Upgrading to a variable-speed constant-pressure system
• Cleaning or replacing clogged components
• Upgrading the pump to match current water demand
Busby Drilling performs full system diagnostics — including flow rates, pressure cycling, pump amperage, and water level measurements — to determine the best fix.
