        Hi, I would like to UP my pressure of my hot water line. the temp gets plenty HOT. but the pressure really bites. I have a portable dishwater that hooks up at the sink and figure getting some extra pressure would help it clean better? the COLD’s pressure if GREAT. the shower and bathroom vanity are pretty good pressure. not nearly as bad as the kitchen. but you can still tell a difference between hot and cold’s pressure. Somebody told me it may be calcified. I was wondering how to decalcify it the easiest???? and cheapest. and/or ideas what I may need to do to help this issue?

          You mean you want to increase the volume of water. After your PRV valve the press. is the same all through the house, if your hw pipes are partly stoppedup your vol. will cut down so check all your areaters on faucets and check under the sink with your stop, take supply loose and see if you have a lot of water at stop, if so then it is something in your faucet needs to be done. Clean it out are new parts.
