I am installing the supply lines in new construction (building my own house from the ground up and now doing the supply lines)
I have a well and pump with 1 inch supply line into the house and an 80 gallon pressure tank. That goes to a 50 gallon water heater with 3/4 inch outlets.
To increase water pressure on the hot water side can I increase the supply line back to 1 inch after it leaves the 3/4 inch hot water heater outlet?
I would then decrease it back to 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch as it reaches individual fixtures. It is a large house (7 baths) so I am concerned about the pressure. I know I can decrease pipe size as I go along - but can it increase to 1 inch coming out of the water heater?
