It may not be 3/8" but I remember thinking it was no 1/2" pipe flow. I was having the garage built and that detail was one of a million things going on at the time with the contractor and it hasnt really bothered me until recently. The flow is fine with the sink that is in the garage. But it just doesnt measure up with the hose. I think one of those accumulators should do the trick along with replacing the hose's screw type shut off valve with a ball valve. I think all I need is 4-5 gallons at a time to rinse off a car, and it will probably recharge very quickly. But I have a soap/foam sprayer that needs more pressure. When I use it I get a burst of about 10 feet, then it drops down to about 6-7 feet. That tells me there is enough system pressure, just not enough flow to maintain it. Yes? No?
