What causes your water pressure to drop significantly when more than one faucet is used?
This problem lies with your pipe sizes. If the pipes size of your main line does not equal the supply for demand this will result in the current problem. For example, if your whole house is fed with half inch piping and you open two taps the volume of water has to be shared from the half inch pipe, thus causing a drop in pressure. Whereas if one installed three quarter inch main line "t-ing" off to half inch, because the three quarter inch will hold a higher volume of water when two taps are opened and the water shared, the drop in pressure will be hardly noticeable.

What do you think is happening to the stream of water flowing from the faucet?
As the water flows from the faucet, it is influenced by gravity, creating a continuous stream. The pressure from the plumbing system pushes the water out, and as it exits the faucet, surface tension causes the water to maintain a cohesive shape. Eventually, the stream may break into droplets due to factors like air resistance and the force of gravity pulling it down. This process can result in varying flow patterns depending on the faucet's design and the water pressure.
