Phil,

I may have not made my point clearly. I am trying to decrease my water pressure in my tank. This should save me a LOT of money and extend the pump life. Putting in an orifice only keeps the pressure up if I am understanding you.

I gotta believe that a lot of us on this forum are on water wells. A small investment in a booster pump (just to showers) allows a lower water pressure 99.9% of the time. I don't need high pressure to washing machine, dishwasher, sinks, etc - just shower.
