What is the typical size of Pipe (PVC) from a well to the house?
The reason I ask is, That I am having a home (3 bed/2 bath) put in to replace the double wide I currently have and one of the complaints I have always had with my house is the poor water pressure when running more than one thing at a time.
Washing machine + Diswasher
Washing Machine + Shower
Shower + Shower
Etc Etc
I think what I have now is 3/4" from the well to the house (Around 100 feet), Been here 15 years and it has always been the same.
I bought a small tester gauge and checked the pressure at the hose bibb's at the house, 1 in front (Farthest from the well) and at the one in the back of the house, both show around 50 to 55 psi.
It has decent pressure when only 1 thing is running. just need's more volume I think?
Figured since I was putting in a new house I would put in a new pipe as well.
Would it hurt to go up in size to a 1 inch or even 1 1/4" ?
Thanks
