Filter impede the suction flow of the pump.

There is no impediment to the flow. In fact, the pressure from the tank, from gravity alone is quite strong. The Jacuzzi had no trouble at all reaching 60 PSI, with a flow volume that was quite generous..

I do not think the filters are a factor.

Update: While considering your advice and looking things over again, I realize I erred. The filters are NOT between the tanks and the pump. Too many pipes in too small an area, and I simply didn't look too closely at that particular spot. The filters are indeed between the pressure pump and the feed to the house. So that solves that question.

Thanks,
Nathan
