1) Clogged up lines from sedimentary/hard water build up. 2) Loss of air pressure through relief valve or the air volume control. To fix 1, you need to drain tank and clean it and that's just from what I've read. To fix 2, you need to tighten relief valve, but not to tight as you do need some air to escape as your tank fills with water. Air volume control is what I'm having to replace now, it's about a $25 part.

Why when the toilet is flushed does the water pressure drop throughout the house?
Typically it's because of restricted flow, either from small pipes or from excessive mineral buildup on the inside of the pipes. I honestly do NOT believe that water pressure "drops throughout the house" -How do you know that, have you measured it with a gauge at each faucet, or are you assuming. .
What would cause no water flow at all throughout the house and could it be the pressure tank?
== == Two possible problems............... The main shut off valve in the house is closed from the in-coming city water supply line, or the city supply line is shut off at the street .
