Hi,
I work in a barber shop that as 4 sinks and a washer dryer. If more than one sink is being used at the same time the hot water turns to a trickle. I had a look at the water heater which looks plenty big enough but I noticed it has 3/4 copper going and 1/2″ coming out. Would I get more hot water pressure if the 1/2″ was changed to 3/4″ Any advice welcome.
Mike

Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important

Probably piped with a combination of copper and galvanized without a dilectric coupling separating them. The pipe is internally blocked off with a build up caused by the disimilar metals.
I have seen a similar situation caused by exactly this.
Good luck,
