I'm trying to increase pressure to my outside hoses for lawn watering and noticed that the sillcocks are all after my whole house water filter and they are all 1/2". Because of this, when I run some impact sprinklers to water the lawn, the whole house filter gets dirty and clogged very quickly. The plumbing from my well pressure tank is 3/4" and the pressure switch is set to 40-60.
I attached a quick diagram below. I want to know if it looks OK and would be worthwhile to replumb from my well pressure tank with larger piping, so the sillcocks are fed before the whole house filter, hoping I'd see increased flow to run multiple sprinklers at the same time. I am thinking to go up to 1" copper from the tee and 1" PEX (for ease and cost) to increase flow as much as possible.
Does this look OK? A few questions:
1. Would it be worthwhile to replace my 1/2" sillcocks with Legend 3/4"?
2. My pressure tank is an Amtrol Well-X-Trol WX-203 Pro installed in 2008 and the pressure switch is set to 40-60. Can I increase to 50-70 or even 60-80 to maximize pressure and distance on my impact sprinklers?
Thanks in advance!
