Yes. Bends and joints create friction which translate into pressure loss, even if very minimal.
to increase pressure so the water flows and doesent go stale
To correct the pressure in water pipes, you can adjust the pressure regulator valve. Locate the pressure regulator valve, which is typically found near the main water line or near the water meter. Using a wrench, turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase the pressure or counterclockwise to decrease it. Be cautious not to exceed the maximum recommended pressure for your plumbing system.
i found a great website for discount shower heads, but it also has a great support section with step by step pictures and instructions, including tips on increasing water pressure. htp://www.showerstore.com
There are several reason why the plumbing will bang when a toilet is flushed. The most common cause is something called water hammer or hydraulic shock. it is caused by a sudden increase in water pressure. Another cause is air in the pipes.
as water depth increases then so does the water pressure
No
A pressure valve is usually installed on water systems to prevent excess water pressure from destroying fixtures or other plumbing components. When the pressure exceeds the valve ratings the valve opens and releases water/pressure from the line.
The range of normal residential water pressure is from 30 to 80 psi. Ideally, the pressure should be set between 45 and 60 pounds in most residential Plumbing systems.If the pressure rises too high particularly above 80 psi, plumbing fixtures and appliances (primarily water heaters) could be damaged or leak excessively.
Davey Pressure Booster Systems with Torrium® control technology would help increase the water pressure from a city water system.
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.
