Use an air compressor with an adapter fitting that will allow you to push air in through a spicket on the tank.
I made an adapter with a water pressure tester gauge (that is made to attach to a water (hose) spicket.) I then took off the gauge and installed a quick connect air fitting (standard on air equipment and air hoses).

Does a cone-shaped water tank increase psi coming out of tap?
No, a cone-shaped water tank will not increase the psi (pressure) coming out of a tap. The pressure at the tap is determined by the water pressure in the plumbing system and is not affected by the shape of the water tank.
How do you increase water pressure from a gravity tank by increasing pipe sizes?
you cannot increase the pressure from a gravity tank by changing the pipe size, only the volume of water that will flow in a given period of time. The only way to increase the pressure is to increase the difference between the elevation of the tank and the elevation of the spigot. Many people will confuse an increase in water volume with an increase in water pressure, because, in both cases, more water will flow in a given period of time. ...moreincreasing the pipe size can reduce elevation loss due to friction which can translate in lay mans terms as an "increase in pressure"
How can I use a cold water storage tank to increase my water pressure?
By elevating it higher as every foot higher will increase the static pressure almost a half a pound
To increase the hot water pressure to the tap on your kitchen sink any suggestions?
PRESSURE INCREASES are normally effected by raising the height of water supply to increase the downflow. If this is not possible, increase the bore of the supply pipe from your tank.
Why would pressure rise in pressure tank?
The only two ways that come to mind are a temperature increase in the tank, or an increase in pressure in any feed lines supplying the tank.
Why do you need to have a water tank?
If water doesn't go into the pressure tank you will not have water pressure.
How do you fit a second tank in tandem to increase the hot water pressure?
Another tank will do nothing to increase the pressure. If it is city water, the pressure is regulated at themeter. The only thing that could increase it is to increase the size pipe supplying the fixtures. There is probably 3/4 inch coming into the house and it reduces to 1/2. The slight increase would probably not be worth the expense of doing. The pressure is still going to be the same, just more volume.
How can you increase the water pressure from a tank?
You can increase water pressure from a tank by installing a booster pump or adjusting the pressure switch settings on the tank's pump. Properly maintaining the tank's pump and ensuring there are no clogs or leaks in the system can also help improve water pressure.
How can you increase water pressure with a 36 gallon tank and 2040 pressure switch?
If your pump is capable of making more pressure than it is now, you can turn up the pressure switch.
How would the pressure inside a scuba tank filled with gas change if the tank were heated?
The pressure will increase
How do you get more water pressure from your well?
Pump it into a storage tank and use an electric shower pump to increase pressure,Pump starts when a tap is turned on
Will a new water pump increase water pressure?
It's more a function of the pressure tank and pressure switch. -These MUST be set up properly. A badly adjusted or worn pump will still put water in the tank, just at a slower rate. -Any pump should put at least 5 gallons per minute in the tank, or it is ready to be renewed. Most low pressure in house is caused by low air pressure in the tank. You need a well technician to check this system - NOT a plumber.
