My barn area is on well water at about 30psi. The hose bib where water comes comes in has great pressure. I ran pex up and over to the other side of the barn for a couple more hose bibs. Those obviously have lower pressure. It hasn’t been an issue until trying to add a mist irrigation system for new garden boxes. I can’t go underground all the way as there is concrete in between. Anyone have a solution? Pump? Regulator?

You have a pressure tank that you can turn up? I don’t see why going overhead would change the equation. Are you certain it’s not a volume problem?

Do you think the lift with the pump to go up and over may have an issue? Can you just stay at the same height as the other bib and go the perimeter of the wall to the other side? pex is cheap enough but keep it out of the sunlight. Tank may be a solution. Not a plumber

most all well pumps i have seen set the pressure regulators at 60-70 psi so theres that

turn your pressure up where it is supposed to be set
