I get about 4 gallons a minute out of outside faucets around the barn (+/- a qt or 2 depending on which one).
All are fed by one main water line (1"). Figured my problem was half inch line but didn't think it was necessary to upgrade.
Now, doing some work yesterday, I uncovered a hole in a floow where that main connects to house water. They have adapters and are connected with a flexible supply line like you find under the bathroom sink (1/4" ID??). To keep it simple and use the biggest flex line I cat fit will give it a 3/4"ID).
How much do you think the water flow would increase? Surely enough to make it worthwhile to have at least the faucet I use to fill my water tanks fed by an inch or 3/4" line??

You can expect more than double, but there are other factors, such as length of 1/4 line, length of 3/4 line, pressure, and other factors, so knowing as little as you describe, I go with 'more than double' as conservative estimate.
