Why is your pump not turning on until the tank is empty? The pump should be on a pressure switch. For example, it can turn on at 40 psi and turn off at 60 psi. If this cycle can't complete while you have a faucet or shower valve open, you have a pump problem. The pump should be able to put out more flow than 3 or 4 (or more) faucets open.

I shouldn't say when the tank is empty....when the pressure drops to its cut on limit...you can feel the shower pressure slowly dwindle and then the pump cuts on and your like hey!!! Water.

Now when I say it dwindles its not a trickle, it's enough to shower but its not optimal in any way I should say. The wife complains... how's that for a finite answer.
