Water pump upgrade

[Corymoe71]

Can I increase my pump from 45 psi to 65 or even 85 psi without damaging lines?

No one can tell you that with any certainty. Do you know what your lines are rated for? Mine are 60.

I'll have to check. Thanks.

What you may find helps is to add a second pump. 45psi isn’t bad if it’s consistent. My issue was trying to keep shower pressure up while the other sinks were in use.

I added a second pump and now I have great flow all the time. I also have an inline surge tank, set to 50psi.

Accumulator tank is part of that equation. I recently added one and it solved my problems.

Accumulating tank is correct term for what I called a surge tank.
