I have a pressure washer but it's a PITA using it every time i wash a car.
My water pressure coming from my hose is IMO very sub par. I typically use a firehose nozzle.
Is there a way to increase water pressure to my outside hose?
Not sure if there are any plumbing guru's out there but i figured this was a good place to start.
Thanks. :xyxthumbs:

Get a reducer from the hose bib to the hose. ( You'll need a smaller hose as well). Smaller hose=better pressure. If that isn't an option, go with a shorter length of hose. ( not as good as the first suggestion, but workable)

Thank you for the suggestion. I will give it a try.
call a plumber and have him change the regulator coming from the city line...I assume you are on city water and not taping a well?
For example the city psi is >100, but the regulator drops mine to about 40-50psi. When I 1st moved in the neighborhood I was >50, but as more moved in mine dropped.
