How high can I raise the pressure in my 36 gallon Utilitech pump tank if my pump pressure is set a 40-60 psi.

I'm not a professional, but I have done a lot of reading lately and I do remember reading the following scenarios can reduce your pressure. The distance from your well to your home and a higher than usual usage or draw on the water supply for things like irrigation can reduce the pressure. In that case, you may need a larger tank to produce the pressure that you need with that type of demand.

You can increase the pressure from the 25psi it comes set at to 35psi with a standard air compressor. I don't recommend going any higher than that. Then turn the pump back on and you should have better discharge pressure at the faucets.
