The filler valves are an obvious restriction at handles. Is there another option? Still have not had a chance to remove tempering valve..

600' of 1" pex from meter to house wall. 15' of 3/4" pex from house wall to tank 8' of 3/4" pex from tank to temp valve 8' of 1/2" pex from temp valve to tub faucet that I can see. (Cant see entirety to valve) Again 10 gal+ per min at exterior faucets plumbed with 1/2" pex

I mention the necessity of the tempering valve to my local planning and zoning board and the commissioner told me that since I had my certificate of occupancy that it was my house and I could remove it if I wanted to. It is a watts valve. I spoke to "engineer " at watts today And he said that...

So that's roughly 10 gallons per minute on outside faucets. I'm getting 5 gallons per minute on hot and cold in jetted tub

Pex

Just check, 30 seconds to fill a 5 gallon bucket with exterior faucet . Outside faucets are a plumbed with half inch upex.

I really appreciate your expertise and input! I will sit down at my computer and Digest your last post

I will look around the WH in attic for PRV. No I cannot view the valves through access. Valves are in rear deck In only access is through front skirt

County water at 90 psi on exterior bib I feel is great preasure.is much better than my brother's well which gets 42 psi. He has same delta fixture and gets much better flow from it. I'm stumped at what's causing decrease in flow rate... maybe a reducing valve somewhere??

I have 90 psi on all outside faucets

Just bought a pressure gauge from Lowe's. What is an acceptable pressure

With the tempering valve set incorrectly, there was no cold water mixing at the faucet, only hot side. My main issue is lack of flow, not quantity of water. Sounds Contradictory but that's how I see you. Thanks for any advice and help!

27 mins to fill to normal level was prior to adjusting the tempering valve. Now it's a bit better. I haven't checked it yet but I would guess the hot water by itself is maybe 3 gal per minute

It's only a 66" jetted tub. 5 gal per minute is a mixture of hot and cold. 50 gal. tank should be sufficient for this sized tub. What is routine for checking water pressure?

Any other ideas? 50 gal tank for master bath only. Exterior faucets seem to have good pressure and flow. The cold water fills 5 gal bucket in 1 minute and the hot and cold together full blast also fill bucket in 1 min
