FAQ
Can I increase my 30 50 pressure switch to 40 60?
To adjust the pressure switch and increase the pressure switch-points, you can raise them to levels like 60/40 or even 70/50. This allows for greater flexibility and control in your system. As of September 18, 2016, these adjustments are considered feasible and within the recommended range.
Which is better 30 50 or 40 60 pressure switch?
If you have a one-story home or a two-story home without any water fixtures on the second floor, a 30/50 PSI setting should be adequate for your water pressure needs. However, if you have two or more levels in your home and water fixtures on multiple levels, it is recommended to use a 40/60 PSI setting. This will ensure that the water pressure is sufficient for all the fixtures throughout your home. Additionally, using a lower pressure setting is easier for the pump to supply and puts less strain on older plumbing systems. This information was last updated on February 12, 2018.

This helps to prevent any damage or inefficiency caused by insufficient water pressure.
