I changed out all of by standard hose bibbs to 3/4 inch ball valve bibbs. Big difference. Most of those ball valve Y shut off valves are very restrictive.
Looks like you have a 3/4" supply and spigot. That spigot may be 3/4 threaded but its most likely NOT a full flow valve. Take it off and look up inside its discharge outlet at its discharge opening size and washer size. Or just remove the bonnet and look at the washer and its seat. I bet its much smallet than 3/4. Pull that valve and install a full flow ball valve. My irrigation shallow well installer put a regular 3/4 spigot on my pump which I found had a 1/2" inch washer and seat inside. A full flow 3/4 ball valve made a huge increase in volume. >>>Bear in mind not all ball valves are full flow. Packaging should say full flow and verify by looking into either end when its opened.
All of my hose bibs are plumbed with 1/2 in pex and plumbed after my water filter. A lot of times it's just the plumbing in your house that's the issue.

You nailed it.
Where did you get them? What brand, looking to do the same in hopes of more flow/pressure.
@@AndrewH91I second this
@@AndrewH91 You need to check the size of your supply line. Some are 1/2 inch and that will limit your GPM.

My water comes from a well pump. Does this matter? Thanks for the video!

If you increase the pressure you increase the density you decrease the volume.
I’m getting 3-4 gpm with my 50’ 5/8” hose, no splitter 😂
Ouch! Hose fittings are definitely not your biggest problem 😂
Bigger dia hose = more flow but less pressure
Smaller dia hose less flow more pressure
More velocity, not more pressure. Pressure can’t exceed the pressure of the home
