i can draw something up but the way i described it pretty much sums it up. You might be able to hook up a pressure gauge to the drain for the hot water heater, which might be simpler than tearing into your plumbing.Ī diagram of your plumbing system might be helpful. You can easily measure flow with a bucket or pan and a stopwatch.

What you need to know is what the faucet pressure is at zero flow, low flow (Say, 1 gallon per minute), and at higher flow. I would expect lower pressure at higher flows. If you are just washing your hands, that is a lower flow than if you are taking a shower. Pressure drop is typically a function of flow rate, gallons per minute. So even if you decide that your pressure drop is too much, you don't know where the problem is. It sounds like you have a filter before and after the softener, so you have three possible sources of pressure drop, in addition to the pipes themselves. What you need to know is what the pressure is downstream of the various filters. Anything over 60 psi is probably not a great idea. If you know your tank pressure, you have some information. Two 75 gallon hot water heaters and only one faucet at a utility sink downstairs which seems to have good pressure. I also believe I need to adjust the bladder pressure when doing so correct? I have no problem getting a higher psi switch if that'll fix the problem. My pressure valve is set to on at 40 off ~57 psi. It's far from horribly but it isn't what it was. PRIOR to this, I just had one RO6 (5 micron/5GPH) in the filter that was post softener and that is what I am judging my good pressure on. I have noticed my pressure is reduced at this point. Right out of the softener it is going through another omnimax housing (10GPS max) to a CB6 (1 micron/5GPH) which was recommended by omnimax. Out of the softener it is goes up to a fitting which increases the size back to 1' to feed the house.

I am using an omnimax housing (10GPS max) 10x4.5' RS6 filter (30 micron/10GPH) to the softener. It goes about 3/4' about 40' to the softener where I today put in a prefilter. One end of Tee is capped and the other is 3/4'. It goes from the pressure vessel 1' for about 10' where it Tees off. Before I continue, I did not design this system. I decided today to put a prefilter in since I had particulate clog my water softener mechanism the other day.
