In homes throughout Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania, constant pressure systems help address problems related to low water pressure. Have you ever tried to run the washer while someone was taking a shower, or do the dishes when the sprinkler system was on? If you did and noticed a significant drop in water pressure, then you might benefit from a constant pressure system.
Whether you use municipal water or a private well, constant pressure systems are available in a variety of models, so you can find one suited to your needs. Atlantic Blue provides professional service, repair, and new installations of constant water pressure systems throughout MD & PA.

How Do Constant Pressure Systems Work?
Constant pressure water systems help increase water pressure across your property. They work by using a variable-speed pump and a pressure sensor to deliver consistent water flow, no matter how many taps or appliances are running. A constant pressure system adjusts water output based on demand. When water usage increases, the pump maintains even flow and pressure.
Here’s an example:
- If the system is set to maintain 50 psi, and you turn on a shower, the water pressure might drop to 47 psi.
- A sensor detects this drop and signals the controller.
- The controller increases the pump speed, restoring pressure to 50 psi.
- When water demand drops, the pump slows down or shuts off, and the pressure tank absorbs the excess.
These advanced systems eliminate the fluctuations and pressure drops you might experience with a standard well pump. Whether you’re filling a tub or using a hose in the backyard, a constant pressure system delivers steady, reliable flow.
Constant Pressure Well Pumps vs. Standard Pumps
Both constant pressure well pumps and traditional standard pumps provide the same maximum water volume. However, a constant pressure system offers a better user experience when demand changes.
A standard well pump operates by cycling on and off when water pressure drops below a set point. This means when multiple water fixtures are in use, like a shower and washing machine at the same time, the pressure can drop noticeably. These systems are more basic and typically cost less upfront, but they’re not ideal for homes with high water demand.
In contrast, a constant pressure well system uses a variable speed motor to adjust the pump’s speed based on your water usage. Instead of shutting off and turning back on, it runs continuously at the necessary speed to keep the pressure steady. That means you can use water in multiple parts of your home without experiencing frustrating pressure drops.
Pros and Cons of Constant Pressure Well Pumps
Constant pressure pumps tend to cost more initially than traditional well pumps. However, they offer better energy efficiency, quieter operation, and a longer lifespan. They’re also more compact and often require a smaller pressure tank, saving space in your utility area.
Traditional well pump installation is usually less expensive. Traditional water pumping systems are also easier to maintain with fewer sensitive electronic components.
Benefits of a Constant Pressure System for Well Water
Installing a constant pressure well system offers several valuable benefits:
- Steady water pressure
- Improved appliance efficiency
- Energy savings
- Space-saving design
- Quiet operation
- Built-in protection (like dry-run protection and surge control)
- Long-term reliability
With proper maintenance, constant pressure systems typically last 15-20 years. To learn about our well system products at Atlantic Blue, contact us today!
