[QUOTE="BryanDP, post: 4068073, member: 1111"] It's a shallow well pump mounted on top of a 5 gallon tank that has a bladder inside set at 32 psi per the manufacturer's instructions. Pressure at the shower fluctuated from decent to horrible with our old pump and when we first installed the new one. It then set for a week and was much better when we tried it again. Regardless, I think we are going to install a 40 gallon tank in our building. It has a bladder that can be inflated to 50 psi, which we'll get close to. We're also installing a check valve so that "up to 50 psi" pressure doesn't back feed pressure down to the pump that fluctuates from 30-50 psi pumping pressure. [/QUOTE]
