This is probably a pressure imbalance problem or you have air in the lines.

How do you increase water pressure in a new shower head that that has literally no pressure when the old shower head worked very well?

Lets face the facts! In order to get as close as possible to the water pressure that is inside your pipes, you need to eliminate all barriers inside your shower head that block the flow. It's just plain physics! Don't be fooled by alot of mumbo jumbo that try to convince you that there is any other way to get high pressure from a shower head. The inside inner diameter of your water pipes is approximately 5/8th inch (15.88mm). To modify your showerhead to provide you that maximum pressure, you need to take your showerhead apart and do 2 things. First, you bore through the ball joint, which is that section that screws into your showerarm and ends in a round ball shape at one end, until you reach the same inner diameter that is in your pipes (see above). Then second, you look inside the body of the shower head to see if there are any other parts that may restrict the water flow in any way and remove those obstacles. Once you have accomplished these two steps, you reassemble your shower head and screw it into your showerarm without using any rubber seal since it would not have any seating inside your modified balljoint to avoid it from being pushed deep by the water pressure and clogging your shower head. You must instead apply 2 to three turns of Teflon tape around the threads of your showerarm and then just hand tighten your modified shower head on to your showerarm. It's not an easy task and most everyone decides that it is easier to just buy the only modified shower head that is bored to the above specs and really works. I have tested the ShowerBlaster brand shower head sold by Products That Work! with all the rest being sold as "modified" or "high pressure" shower heads, and there is a huge difference. The Shower Blaster shower head is the only modified high pressure shower head that is modified to the specs mentioned above. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -ANS 2 - Doing any of the above is tedious, possibly dangerous and unnecessary AND ALSO voids your warranty !Most showerheads sold in north America have quite good flow. If i was you, I'd take back this one that is not so good and exchange it for a better brand. I install showerheads of many major brands and all work well. Moen are my favorite but many other are good too.

Where is the inlet and outlet of your pressure tank?

A pressure tank for a pump & well potable water system only has one connection. To connect the pump and tank to your house's water inlet, simply connect the tank and pump together with pressure rated pipe, SCH 40 PVC works fine. In that line, cut in a TEE fitting, and from that T, connect the house inlet with a valve to shut the water off.

How does an electric shower heat up so fast?

Electric showers only take water from the mains cold water supply. They heat the water when you turn the shower on, by passing it over a heating element inside the shower - in a similar way to how a kettle works. When you shower, you don't use up and stored hot water - so electric showers are ideal for families and households where there is a limited supply of hot water. Electric showers are always ready to use, any time of the day or night
