Probably the pump has a water pressure protection switch. So it will not run dry and burn up. How is it that you are losing water pressure? On the delivery end or receiving. Restrictions on a pump always are placed output
Yes, if the plumbing can handle the extra pressure. There should be a nut in the middle of a large spring inside the pressure switch. Turn that nut clockwise to increase the pressure. You may need to run some water to keep the pump cycling while you do this.
for the 1hp size this pump is capable of generating 76 gpm at 0 feet of head pressure of course it goes down from there as you increase head pressure (lift)
Have you fixed this problem? Q? Did you replace an existing pump. And what was the model and did it work. Q? If its the same size as the fp4032, has anything else changed? Is there a filter that needs checking. hydraulically to work it out I need the distance from pump to water, height and size of pipe. Distance you are pumping too, height and size of pipe. And what the "four heads are"? Nozzle size etc. To work out a flow/pressure rate.
If you look at the pump cabilities the max life is either 2.3 or 2.4 meters. I.e 7.88 Feet max lift. I looked up even the 5000 Liter per hour pump and it only has a lift of 2 meters. 10 feet is 3.048 meters. It seems your height requirement lift of 10 fee is greater than the lift capability of the pump. You can... install a second pump with a hidden reservoir at the 5 ft lift mark behind the water fall to get the desired flow. Or change to a submersible 1/2 hp well pump as most will give you 10 to 12 GPM flow rate and will elimate the 10 ft lift problem. A shallow well pump could be installed above the water (encased / hidden and provide you with 23 feet of lift.
The problem you have is the 10 ft lift distance is more than your current pump can provide.
This could be several problems, a better description would help. If you have a presure tank the tank can lose air and sometimes need recharging. the regulator to the pump could be bad or out of adjustment. these are the 1st problems that come to mind with water pump problems.good luck.
