Hi all -
I'm trying to figure out whether and how I should change my water supply setup. See two pics below: the main supply w/ shutoff and the water meter setup. Couple things on my mind:
- I have only about 50 PSI, and am worried that feeding four bathrooms through a 3/4" supply will be insufficient (currently expanding from three to four, although previous use really was only two of the three bathrooms - I have an opportunity to change all of the individual bathroom water lines so I can get it right).
- I'd like to install whatever check valve setup is required by code here (still figuring that out), and I don't want to have to do that twice if it ends up I need to upsize things. Also want to see whether I'd then have to have the meter changed out.
Any thoughts? Any tests I could do even before the bath 3 and 4 are complete?
Thanks
