Agreed. I would like to see what kind of flow and pressure I am getting as close to the tank as possible first. Then I can start chasing down things from there. Had the flow and pressure been normal, and held for a reasonable amount of time ( 40/60 or 30/50) then I can pretty well assume that the pump is not the problem. Jacking the pressure switch up rarely achives the solution.
On your pressure tank, is there a tap? What kind of a well do you have and how much water did it produce when drilled per minute? Run water in ONE place as close to the pressure tank as possible and see what happens. At the tank would be great.
How much of your house is piped in galvanized pipe? or is it just limited to what I can see near the pump tank?
If you can find another driller to look at it, try that. I know around here no one would because of the check. These guys talk all the time. I would not let this go to long, I am sure you have no warranty on the pump now.
I hate to hurt your feelings pal but, it would take an "idiot" to work for you. Be real here, you at this point are using the guys pump and your intent was not to pay him.
Let's get one thing straight here. I am not trying to get out of paying the guy. I will pay him for his services when he give me the the answer to the reason I called him. I didn't call him to "replace my pump" I called him and specifically noted the issue of no pressure when someone else flushes a toilet on the 2nd floor.I hate to hurt your feelings pal but, it would take an "idiot" to work for you.

Black mail for money is a crime in most states. Did you agree to the pump?
This is awkward, but...
