How can you increase the cold water supply in your home so the water temperature doesn't change when using more than one fixture?

Your pipes should be free of obstructions like mineral build-up. Water pipes, like the blood vessels in your body and veins in a plant, must be of a sufficient diameter to move enough water to where it is needed, when it is needed.
Standard practice is to connect a 3/4" pipe to in main water in point, and then when branching out to separate fixtures, reduce the pipes to 1/2". That way the water available is always greater in the supply line than the service lines. The 3/4" would also run in and out of the hot water tank, so enough hot water is also available to fixtures when they need it. Never use a 1/2" pipe to supply more than one fixture.
Using this technique, the three showers in our house can be used at the same time, and someone can even flush without the rest of us knowing.

Does temperature increase with increase in velocity?
no it doesnt
How would an increase temperatures change does matter changes state?
No it doesnt matter.
When liquid is boiling its temp doesnt change?
At the boiling point the temperature remain unchanged.
Is it true that a star doesnt change its size or temperature during its life?
No, that's not true.
Why doesnt air temperature increase or decrease with altitude?
It does.It is a slightly complicated relationship, but temperature does change dependent upon altitude until the very final part of the Earth's atmosphere.Just consider that, for example, the tops of mountains are covered in snow. This is due to the air temperature being less than it is at ground level.
Why doesnt air temperature change uniformly with altitude?
Altitude doesn't change uniformly because the four main layers of the atmosphere have different temperature gradients, creating the thermal structure of the atmosphere.
How does rain affect air temperatures?
rain doesnt actualy change the temperature although it may feel like it
Why doesnt temperature change when transferring from ice too water?
The thermal energy required to change state is taken from the environment; which in this case is the melt water.
Why does the temperature not change during a phase change?
During the change of state, the molecules of a substance absorb energy to overcome the strong intermolecular force of attraction between them. Hence the heat energy which we supply is absorbed by them for this purpose. So change in temperature is not observed.
How come water doesnt change as it melts from solid to liquid water?
Water does change as it melts from a solid to liquid. That's the change. Its molecules speed up and separate from the lattice structure structure of the ice and become fluid. This is called a physical change because the water molecules themselves do not undergo a change. Solid water and liquid water are still water.If you're talking about temperature, the temperature does not change during the phase change. That's because the heat energy is being used to remove water molecules from the lattice structure. Once all of the water molecules a separated, the temperature can increase.
What factors affects tadpole growth?
The most important temperature, the second is light intensity
Do crocodile's body temperature changes as per the change in temperature of air?
No, they are cold blooded animals and weather doesnt affect them. Unlike us, we are warm blooded. Hope this helps you(:
