I get the cheapy shower head and then remove the water restrictor inside and I’m singin in the shower with plenty of hot water.

Install a schrader valve and pump a couple of pounds of air into the tank?.................

Try living in the Philippines.

Had low water pressure with city water I until installed a water tank with an electric pump.

Now water all the time on demand

I never thought I'd ever have cause to use this gif but here we are. I fixed our issue by removing the flow restrictor from all of our shower heads. Now our showers perform better and, consequently, we take shorter showers. I bet we are actually saving water per shower.

“Low-flow showers? I don’t like the sound of that.”

Splurge on a Speakman "AnyStream" and enjoy luxurious showers without the pain of needle jets with entrained air. It's like a trip back in time. You still have to dig out the restrictor, but after you do that it's Shower Nirvana. I first found these in good hotels in the late 70s and that became my all-time favorite shower head.

Good to hear. I had drilled out the restriction in my shower head to get the flow where I wanted it.

“Try to start the shower right after the pump has cycled and I could shower for 15 minutes.”

How many gallons is your pressure tank?

Overall this seems just strange...

At the most a fully ‘open’ showerhead should deliver no more than 5 GPM. If you are depleting your stored water reservoir in a few minutes your well pump is NOT working as designed (unless it’s a 2 GPM pump).

In the last 24 years I’m on my third pressure tank (50 gallons) an third well pump (I do a lot of irrigating).

Have never had the issue you mention unless the pump was going out.

Adjust the pressure setting on the pump to kick on at a highre pressure.

The current pressure setting is too low and most likely can be adjusted upward to maintain increased pressure at the shower head

Regarding shower heads. One method of restricting flow is a small opening. The restrictor can be removed, drilled with a larher flow hole and flow and pressure will be increased

There is a very popular motel next to the Honolulu airport, been in several Five-0 episodes, it has shower water pressure that will strip paint!

[Steven W.]

It is now purportedly ILLEGAL to ship decent showerheads to California! Vendors would NOT send to me ... whether vendors through Walmart, Amazon or eBay ... they’d take the order and then refund the money for a showerhead that was not low flow and, even then, as posters note, all modern showerheads require removal of the restrictors to enjoy a really good flow. Ultimately I had showerhead shipped to a friend who lives out of state.

You omit quite a bit of detail, so it's necessary to do a bit of guessing.
A bladder style pressure tank is the preferred style these days. They come with the Schrader air valve as standard. The greater capacity the tank the more water will delivered between pump cycles.
The pressure switch can be adjusted to switch on & off at a higher pressure thus providing better flow over the range of the switch limits.
Recovery time relates to the efficiency of the pump & well capacity. If a baseline reading was recorded at installation compare the current recovery time to assess the pump's effectiveness.
Changing the shower restrictor will improve pressure conservation but will not fix a degrading supply issue.
If you do replace the pump at some point record the start & stop pressures & the recovery time so you can keep an eye on its efficiency.

People conflate pressure with volume.

Pressure vs volume two DIFFERENT things that work together or against each other.

Increase the volume, lose pressure.

What you want is BOTH!

It’s all about “GPM” Gallons Per Minute. (flow). If you exceed the GPM available, the pressure will drop.

If you restrict the GPM the volume will decrease, but the pressure will increase.

Increase the pressure switch setting to the maximum your pump/well can produce on a continuous basis.

Standard settings are usually 60/40 but that’s a myth. IF you have “REAL” plumbing and your pump and well can handle it, increase setting to 70 or 80 on the high side. (I wouldn’t go over 80).

Now you are starting with the maximum volume and pressure available to YOU. You can increase the flow, GPM, through your shower head (heads) as much as you want until you exceed the incoming supply and pressure starts to drop off.

If you have a “marginal well”, all this increase in pressure/volume is moot. You’ll just run out of water.

Again it’s all about GPM.
