I love this site man! I've been reading posts for thr past four hours. No really, FOUR hours, I can't believe people take time to help others like this. OK, now to my question...
My house was built in the 50,s with a galvenized water line to the tap and lead line to the main. My water pressure is currently 35psi. Water Co. says there is 70psi in my area, so therfore, I am responsible for replacing my line and they will replace their line at no cost to me. I want to be able to gain the highest psi level available especially to my shower on the second floor. Keep in mind I will be building another full bath on the second floor in the future.
I plan to use 1" copper line to the meter and from there what should I do to maximize the water pressure short of using a pressure assist pump? I am Instaling a new gas water heater as well. If I have to, I will replace the existing 1/2" copper lines inside with 3/4". Water pressure is of the most importance here. Thank you
Mike
