If your home is on city supply there will be a PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve ) where the pipe comes into the house. This can be adjusted, or if more than 20 -25 years old, possibly needs to be replaced. - If you are on a well, adjust pressure at the pressure switch and if necessary pump up the tank air charge.
You should increase the pipe diameter that feeds the hose bib. Most likely the pipe is 1/2". You should increase the pipe size to 3/4". At the hose bib it will decrease to 1/2" creating more pressure. where you don't have pressure volume works wonders. Before you do anything, check your water pressure, you can call water department and they can tell you what the pressure is in your area. They can do nothing about your pressure till they do something with the whole area. I have seen pressure from 50 to 125 lbs. I like mine at 100 lbs. But you should not have over 80 lbs. But there again the water department will not help you in this matter. I don't think installing .75 in. pipping to faucet will show any difference in pressure. Answer Buy a garden hose spray nozzle so that you can adjust the pressure. Otherwise, you have to live with what is available in your neighborhood. Note that the time of day may make a difference--avoid times when everyone else is showering or watering their yards.
Low water pressure can cause problems such as poor performance from showerheads and faucets, slow-filling toilets, and reduced water flow to appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines.
High water pressure can cause pipes to burst, fixtures to leak, and damage to appliances, as well as contribute to increased water bills.
Both low and high water pressure issues can be caused by various factors such as leaks in pipes, clogs, problems with the water supply system, and malfunctioning pressure regulators. Solving these issues often requires the expertise of a professional plumber who can diagnose and fix the underlying cause.
There are several ways to increase water pressure in a plumbing system:
Fix leaky pipes: Leaks in pipes can reduce water pressure, so repairing or replacing them can help improve the pressure.
Install a pressure booster: A water pressure booster pump can be installed to increase the pressure in the system.
Clean the aerator: The aerator, located at the end of the faucet, can become clogged with mineral deposits, reducing the flow of water. Cleaning or replacing the aerator can increase water pressure.
Replace old pipes: If the pipes in your home are old and corroded, they may restrict the flow of water, leading to low pressure. Replacing them with new pipes can improve water pressure.
Adjust the pressure regulator: A pressure regulator controls the pressure in the system. If the pressure is too low, it can be adjusted to increase it.
It is important to consult a professional plumber before attempting to increase water pressure, as some methods may require specialized equipment and knowledge to ensure that they are done safely and effectively.

dont waste water
as water depth increases then so does the water pressure
No
Davey Pressure Booster Systems with Torrium® control technology would help increase the water pressure from a city water system.
increase
Pressure certainly does increase in a water line going down hill. This is because the weight of the water pulls it.
There is no such thing as a valve cannot increase or decrease pressure IT can throttle volume or stop the flow.=One would need a pressure booster pump to increase pressure=
If you put pressure on ice it will melt.
Raise the pressure. It all depends on pressure.
you cannot increase the pressure from a gravity tank by changing the pipe size, only the volume of water that will flow in a given period of time. The only way to increase the pressure is to increase the difference between the elevation of the tank and the elevation of the spigot. Many people will confuse an increase in water volume with an increase in water pressure, because, in both cases, more water will flow in a given period of time. ...moreincreasing the pipe size can reduce elevation loss due to friction which can translate in lay mans terms as an "increase in pressure"
Oh yes.
you increase the pressure
Yes, the water pressure on a submarine increases as it goes deeper.
