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?? Dave

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.
