What would cause tank to have good pressure but not allow water to flow through the house?

If it's a bladder tank, it should always have "Air" pressure but if the pump isn't working, you still wouldn't have water in the house.

Why might you open the windows in your house if you saw a tornado coming?
To allow the air pressure inside the house to equalize with the air pressure outside in hopes of reducing damage. However, this has been disproven. The pressure drop in event the strongest of tornadoes is not enough to cause significant damage, and even then then the winds of such a tornado would destroy a house before it reached the center where the pressure is lowest.
What to do if the water pressure in your house is too high?
There is usually a main water valve that comes into the house, locate this valve and turn it down. Installing a pressure reducing valve after water main valve will allow for adjustment of water pressure to proper setting.
If you run water in your house and it has good pressure for a few seconds then pressure goes away what would be the cause?
Ferrous metal piping
How do you drain a house using compressed air?
You DON'T as excessive air can pressure cause an explosion
Why does opening windows during a tornado to prevent the house from being lifted off the ground?
It doesn't: that is a myth. The idea stems from the fact that the pressure inside a tornado is very low and the higher pressure inside a house will cause it to explode unless windows are open to relive pressure. The truth is that the winds and debris of a tornado are what cause damage, not the pressure difference. Even in a relatively weak tornado that will cause only moderate damage the windows are likely to break anyway. In fact, in the case of a weak tornado or indirect hit that would not break windows, leaving them open allows strong winds to enter the house and cause damage on the inside. The pressure drop in a tornado is not great enough to cause damage and even then, houses are not airtight, and pressure can equalize on its own fairly quickly. The greatest pressure drops come in the strongest tornadoes, which can easily tear apart a house with their winds regardless of any pressure difference within the structure.
What causes high water pressure in the first faucet on the water line from where it enters the house. The cold water is under high pressure but other faucets in house are fine.?
Possibly a pressure reducing valve installed after piping for first faucet, which would cause situation describing.
Will too much water pressure to the house cause the shower diverter valve to not work properly?
You should not really have over 80 pounds of pressure. But a lot of people do. NO -- even with high pressure it should work ok
What part of government can cause the forced removal of a President through impeachment?
The House and Senate in separate proceedings
What will cause low water pressure on a residential house with a well?
There are many cause of this, but the primary reasons are in the pressure tank. The tank MUST have residual air pressure of around 27 psi to drive the water system. To analyse further I need to know what kind of tank you have and what air pressure is in it when the water ceases to flow. I need to know what pressure your pump starts and if the tank feels heavy (full of water) when the pressure is low.
What happens when you find all the landmarks in burnin rubber 4?
it will allow you to teleport through each safe house at different stages
What is the Water pressure for homes?
Generally it is about 55 psi . The best way to set it is have a water pressure valve installed on the incoming water line to your house. Too much pressure can cause serious damage to appliances. Water hammer is a comon cause of too much pressure Any Questions e-mail jdroegem@comcast.net
You woke up this morning and you had no water coming through any faucets in the house so you checked the pressure tank and it showed zero pounds on the gauge What do you do?
Increase the pressure to 40 PSI
