What is the pressure at the beginning of the line?
How many feet drop or rise of elevation from your supply to the highest point in the house?
How many bathrooms does your house have?
Will this also be feeding a garden/yard or anything else other than your house?
Are you on a very tight budget?

It all depends on you starting pressure if your on level ground.My math says you will need about 56 pounds of Pressure (Through 1" Pex ) just to get it to move( the water)...another 35-40 psi to make things work in the house.

How can you determine that, not knowing the flow?
