HELP -Increase water pressure in house
Ok I just got a new pressure tank installed that is a bladder based tank. The guys who put it in installed a new cut-in/off switch and is set for 40/60. I have a softner in place that has 3/4 running to it which is next to the pressure tank. Coming from the well I have the black pe tubing which looks to be at least an inch.
I am going to be running new plumbing in the whole house the next few weeks and wondering what will be the best way to increase the water pressure. For some reason the hot water heat has 1/2 flexible copper going in and out of it. I was told that I should run a 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 main but I can't find CPVC (which was what I was thinking about using) to do this. Any suggestions of how/what to accomplish this with. I have a bath on the main floor with toilet and sink and a shower on the second floor with two sinks. I have used pex and have sweat copper so I am comfortable using cpvc, pex or copper just don't know what will give me the best results and what size of material and pipe to run. Any help would be great!
