I hope this is the correct forum for this question. Thanks in advance for the professionals who offer help to us beginners.
I have a gravity fed spring system that is having water pressure issues. The pressure has always been low but now is just barely trickling out. The hot seems to be worse than the cold. The spring is about 200 yards away from the house and about 50 yards uphill. The spring empties into a 100 gallon concrete tank a few feet away which then flows to the house thru a 1" line. The house has a full basement and the water heater is down there. The concrete tank is full. I did drain and flush the water heater and the pressure seemed to get worse.
What else can I try? Would a pressure tank work down in the basement? What would I need to do to be able to have enough pressure to install a dish washer. Thank you!!
