Hey, this is my first post after years of reviewing the forum for help. Thanks to everyone for all the helpful posts, and thanks for any help in advance of this post.
So my main cold water trunk(3/4" copper) from the street travels 30 feet through the basement before reaching my water heater. It branches off Twice to 1 bathroom and 1 outside spigot before reaching the water heater.
When it reaches the hot water heater, it reduces from 3/4 down to 1/2, then sizes back up to 3/4 (as seen in attached photos) before entering the water heater. This appears to have happened years before I purchased the house when they replaced the WH, and the old WH must of had an inlet of 1/2 size. Is this possibly effecting my hot water supply? We run out after 1.5 showers.
