“The shower drops as soon as somebody opens another tap.”
Poor delivery is frustrating even when the supply never stops completely. A useful starting point is what happens when you use the water, including whether the problem changes at busy times or affects only one building.
A restriction, pump fault or lack of available stored water can affect delivery. The same symptom can have different causes at different properties.
How JN can help: JN can investigate the filters, pump, pressure equipment and storage together, then explain the repair or upgrade proposed.

Pressure is the push behind the water; flow is the amount delivered over time. Source availability, tanks, pipework, treatment and pumping can all influence the experience at the outlet.
Describe one outlet running compared with several together, and whether the change was sudden or gradual. Include any recent filter work or changes to the property.
A restricted filter, delivery route, control issue or insufficient water at the pump may need attention. A bigger motor is not a diagnosis.
