Hello Everyone.
I have been reading up on various forums, about increasing water meter size to increase flow(house and irrigation). I think it would serve me best to do so, and I'm ready to get the ball rolling with my Municipality. I guess the question would be--all things being equal--should I go from the current 5/8" meter I currently have to 1", or 1.5"? I know a 1.5" meter is a whole other ballgame(pricewise), and I will probably have to have the pressure regulated at the house. I was toying with the idea of retrofitting a fire sprinkle system in our house(someday), but I'm not totally wedded to it yet. The thing I keep hearing is: "..oversize your service, and regulate psi down to afford the most flexibility for future improvements." What am I missing? Thanks in advance for the input. Regards,
Karl in Tempe
