You cannot increase hot water pressure only. If this is low, your tank may need cleaning -
You first turn OFF the power to tank, then attach a hose pipe to the bottom fitting, lead it outside or to any drain, turn on the valve by it, turn OFF your inlet valve and open the relief valve so air can enter the H/W tank.Let the whole tank empty -takes about 30 -40 minutes. Next, when empty turn ON the inlet valve and let cold water run through the tank and out the hose, now you will see the sludge coming out. Let this run 5-7 minutes or until water is coming through clean. Now you are done . Let it fill, then turn on power.

NOPE, actually it will cause more pressuyre drop do to friction losses
What happens to the air pressure in the bottle when you put hot water in it?
The air pressure inside the bottle will increase when you put hot water in it. This is because the air molecules inside the bottle gain energy and move faster due to the heat, causing them to push against the walls of the bottle with more force, resulting in an increase in air pressure.
Why does a hot water heater need an expansion tank?
A hot water heater needs an expansion tank to accommodate the increase in water volume that occurs when water is heated, preventing pressure buildup and potential damage to the system.
What could be causing the issue of low hot water pressure while the cold water pressure remains fine?
The issue of low hot water pressure while the cold water pressure remains fine could be caused by a clog or blockage in the hot water pipes, a malfunctioning hot water heater, or a problem with the hot water valve.
Why is the hot water pressure low in my kitchen sink while the cold water pressure remains fine?
The low hot water pressure in your kitchen sink could be due to a clog or blockage in the hot water line, a faulty hot water valve, or a problem with the hot water heater.

Why is my hot water pressure low while the cold water pressure remains fine?
Low hot water pressure compared to cold water pressure can be caused by various factors such as a clogged hot water pipe, a faulty hot water heater, or a malfunctioning pressure regulator. It is important to investigate and address the specific issue to restore balanced water pressure throughout your plumbing system.
Does hot water have pressure?
Hot water does exert pressure, but the main thing is that it creates steam if hot enough, and that is often used to run machines that require pressure.
How do you fit a second tank in tandem to increase the hot water pressure?
Another tank will do nothing to increase the pressure. If it is city water, the pressure is regulated at themeter. The only thing that could increase it is to increase the size pipe supplying the fixtures. There is probably 3/4 inch coming into the house and it reduces to 1/2. The slight increase would probably not be worth the expense of doing. The pressure is still going to be the same, just more volume.
What does it mean if your hot water pressure is less than the cold water pressure?
If your hot water pressure is lower than the cold water pressure, it could indicate a problem with the hot water heater, such as sediment buildup in the tank or a faulty pressure relief valve. It may also be due to a blockage or leak in the hot water pipes. It is recommended to have a plumber inspect and address the issue to ensure proper functioning of your hot water system.
