try getting a pump manufacturer/supplier/ installer to match the pump flow rate/pressure to match that of the house requirements. Dishwasher that requires a certain pressure and flow rate, washing machine that requires another, one shower running that doesn't have the water temp. change when a kitchen sink is used, taps that change the hot/cold flow amount and hence the water temperature as the pump comes on, pump that switches on/off because of too slow fill of cistern........and to try and do all that economically so that you get good value from the pump. It's a nightmare ,almost a job for a Civil Engineer (Water Supply). the old days of just having a siple pump are long gone, but finding someone who has the skills to do whats required is impossible. Plumbers, in general, don't know anything about pumps and new modern appliances.

I've had a few places with just rainwater tanks and never had a problem with anything because of the pump pressure.
It varies massively too, especially before the pressure switch triggers to turn it on.
