I have a well system and have low water pressure and or pressure drops when using the shower and a faucet is turned on, toilet flushed or washer is on.  The pump is 1 hp, I have a accumulator tank with the pressure set at 38 psi.  The pump on off is 40-60 psi.  Measuring the pressure at the accum.  Tank it stays between 40 and 60 psi.  When I measure the pressure on the faucet on a sink in the garage the pressure goes as low as 25 psi when using multiple water sources:  two showers, shower and clothes washer/dish washer and so on.  The pump performs at > 10 gpm and supports a sprinkler system with a usage of just under 10 gpm per circuit.  The inlet line is 1 inch to 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch lines to each water point.  I have in line filters and have the same effect whether the filter element is installed or removed.  There are no signs of a kink and I do not know how to check for a blockage.  I do not understand the pressure loss at the house and not at the tank.  Any suggestions?
