Default Low Water Pressure - What are my options?

I don't see how that would replace my large well tank.
The large well tank keeps the well pump from running off/on cycles.

Do you have well or city water?

I am on well water.
My pump is set to 40-60psi range on my tank.


Most of the house is fine with pressure.
The problem areas are Kitchen when the washing machine is being used.
The kitchen and washing machine are on the same branch.
Will isolating the washing machine to its own branch fix the problem?


Second story bathroom, low pressure all the time.
Dunno what can be done about this.


I got a variable speed pump, manufactured by Grundfos. *It increases speed
when water is in demand, to keep pressure constant. *So, if you take a
shower, if someone else flushes a toilet, no change in shower pressure.

It's expensive, but well worth it. *It also replaces the giant pressure tank
with a tiny one.

I've got mine set to a luxurious 70 psi.
