Ok, completely new here. Looking for a little info and help.
I'm remodeling the two bathrooms in a house built in the early 50's. Completely redoing the water supply lines. My water supply is a well. I ran 1 1/4" pipe from the well about 175' to under the house (over kill i now realize). The pressure tank is set at about 60psi. Today when i finally got the supply all hooked up, i'm getting about 37 gallon/minute, +/- two or three. This will be hooked up to a 1" pex manifold. My concern is, that by my internet calculations, that is about 10 ft/sec, which i have read is too much. Can anybody tell me if i should be worried here, or if i need to modify something? Thanks for all the help in advance. This site is invaluable.
