Hello all, and thank-you in advance for any replies!
I'm about to start replumbing my house and would like a little piece of mind that what I'm planning is OK to do. Currently I have a 3/4 main line coming into my single story home. Immediately after the water heater both the cold and hot supply lines drop down to 1/2. I'm kinda getting tired of getting burn when someone flushes the toilet while taking a shower
I'm planning on bumping the supply lines up to 3/4 and adding a water softener. The result will be something like this. 3/4 coming into the house and branching of 3/4 for the softener and heater, then having 3 separate 3/4 supply lines. 1 for hard water, 1 for soft cold and 1 for soft hot water. I will be branching off the supply lines with 1/2 for each fixture. My main worry, would be over taxing the single 3/4 main coming into the house by dividing it into 3 lines. Would this cause any problems? If it matter, all 3 supply lines will be about 20' long and each line will supply as follows:
Hard line - 1 outside spigot, toilet, cold kitchen sink/ice maker.
cold soft - 1 bath, 1bath sink.
hot soft - 1 bath, 1 bath sink, 1 kitchen sink w/ dishwasher.
3/4 might be over kill, but I'm getting some from my Bro that I would like to use. Also leaves room for upgrades
