[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1575287, member: 3162"] If you go to the application store you can download "TSC Engineering Analysis" That ap can give you all the data you want faster than an engineer can calc it for you. The smoothness of the piping interior, the number of connections causing K factors, head loss, all affect flow. People are always talking "pressure". Close it up on both ends and the pressure will equalize. Its never pressure. It is flow. Cut your pipe with a pipe cutter. You see plumbers using hand saws and crooked cuts. 4 or 5 of those will reduce your flow to 1/2 because it puts up one heck of a K factor. Always use a pipe cutter and get a square cut. Rolls of pvc yield much better flow than joints. Putting in the 1 inch will just reduce your K factor resistance. It will not reduce pressure. You will get much better laminar flow through the 1 inch than you do thru the 3/4. I ran 1 1/2 inch pipe decades ago. I've never regretted it. plenty of flow. [/QUOTE]
