You could, but if your on city water it would be a pain in the ass as you'd have to set up an booster tank. If your in the country, just go turn up the pressure on the well.

I've done a very light investigation into increasing pressure at my house as well. It seems that one of the best ways for city supplied water is to install a pump between your meter and the house.
It's been a couple of years but I remember the cost as being pretty damned high. E-95 |

The inside pressure is bearable...trying to get my lawn watered is a laboring ordeal. Every sprinkler I've bought does nothing.

Does your system have a PRESSURE REGULATOR on it?
If so - just adjust that |

I think your problem is not pressure but volume. I'm not a plumber, etc, but you need more volume at my house we have 1" pipes feeding the frong & rear springkers. Turning up the pressure at the regulator isn't going to help, because the regulator regulates pressure and not volume, of course there is a small parasitic loss, but that is pretty minor. You need bigger pipes, or the pipes you have are too, and have closed down over the years to due to hard water. Or you you can re-pipe your sprinklers only a few will be on at anytime.

One of the Water Board Directors here used his office to have the pipe in front of his house replaced with larger pipe while areas that were much worse off went lacking. Needless to say he got fines and jail time for it. And they say that the politicians around here are not corrupt.

Of course you are right, he needs more volume.......but more volume through the same pipe will increase the pressure. Increasing the available (flowing) pressure in the water line can only be accomplished by increasing volume. Adjusting the regulator, if it has one, will only allow more volume to pass through until the desired pressure is achieved. |
