    Water volume for outside spigit
    I have a friend that has a well. His inside house pressure and volume is fine. He told me that his outside spigit does not have much volume of water.
    I plan to build a house, use pex tubing, home run to each fixture and use a manifold for the pex. I will have about 3 ouside spigits. My question is, how to get plenty of volume of water out of the ouside spigits?(They will be located away from the house and will be on 3/4 black pipe, buried underground) I want plenty of volume and pressure. Do I need a different manifold between the well and the house, that has the 3 ouside spigits on it, and a 4th outlet that will go to feed the whole house(which has only 7 fixtures) Should I purchase a larger pressure tank? What are your ideas. Thanks Tom

    Volume of water is connected to pressure and size of pipe and distance of pipe. You can take a garden hose 15 long with reasonable pressure and it will squirt 6 to 8 feet by itself. You add 100 feet of hose and it only squirts about 2 feet. It is call 'flow restriction'. What is the distance of the outside faucet runs?
