I'm almost done getting the must-do's complete after moving into my new construction home. The water service to the house was a mix of me doing it myself and the plumbers tying into it. I have a 3/4" meter directly into a 3/4" regulator being serviced by a main that according to the water department runs typically 100 to 120 PSI. From there I ran 1-1/4 sch 40 PVC out to the house site ~450 feet. I put in a frost free hydrant for temp water while the house was being built. Had lots and lots of pressure.
The plumbers tied into it with, I think, 3/4 pex into another regulator. I have decent flow inside but it is a little lacking. The place I notice it the most is the hose bibs on the outside of the house. They are frost free ones and there is crap for pressure outside. I just really noticed it since I am finally to the point of cleaning sidewalks, driveways etc. I'm thinking there is some bad juju having 2 regulators in line. The one on the house is maxed out on adjustment. I'm wondering if I should remove the one at the road or the one at the house and if that should correct the problem.
