SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on water pressure dynamics when transitioning from a 3/4 inch copper pipe to a 1/2 inch flexible braided hose, particularly through a filter designed for 3/4 inch pipes. It highlights that pressure drop occurs at constrictions and filters, which is influenced by flow rate. The need for precise measurements and specifications, including vertical changes in the system, is emphasized for accurate pressure calculations. Users are advised to consult engineering handbooks for quantitative analysis of pressure drops at various flow rates.
