Hello...
I am adding a bathroom, and bedroom. I currently have 2 bathrooms.
I am on city water but it is a small lake community type of setup with maybe 200 houses. There is a huge water tower down the street maybe 1500 feet from my house.
I was in a hurry to get the water on in this house last year, and just ran 1/2 pex. It is about 80 feet from the water meter at the street and it's going uphill. Nothing is leaking.
All pex with a little bit of cpvc inside the walls I didn't want to tear out.
My water pressure is not good. It is fine with just one or two things going but a third and its weak.
I have 3/4 inch PVC on my side of the meter at the street.
Would it be better to try and run bigger lines from the meter to the house? Or should I try to find an electric pump of some kind to increase the pressure?
