Pressure reading was taken from an exterior hose bib that was certainly towards the end of the line. Pretty sure most if not all the fixtures are upstream of it. Was also wondering if it is a problem that the 3/4 copper runs from the water system and tees off to kitchen sink and also to the...

My challenge with that is accessibility. That would require ripping out drywall and fishing pex through walls and ceilings. I am afraid it would get messy quick. So unfortunately I can’t do it “right”, but I think I can do it “less wrong” and at the least see marginal improvement. Here are...
