I am reworking my plumbing, trying to make it more efficient/neater. I installed a check valve and now it seems like I am not getting nearly the flow I once was. I added maybe 1 additional 90 bend from what I had before and a gate valve so I don't think that would have caused this much head loss. Any thoughts?
