SUMMARY
To increase the velocity of water from a home water tank, two primary solutions are recommended: using larger piping and installing a pump. Larger piping reduces friction and allows for a greater flow rate, while a pump can actively increase water pressure and velocity. Adjusting the height of the water tank is not necessary for these solutions.
