Yesterday we filled with water all was ok before, after filling I went for a shower . Water came out fast for a few seconds then pressure dropped . Turned water off pump ran a little longer than normal , turned water on again good pressure for a few seconds and then dropped off again , this morning seems a little better but still low pressure after a few seconds , any ideas, pump ? Blockage?

There is a large ball just after the pump which I assume is the accumulator , temp seems to make little difference, taps same as shower , start fast then slow after short time .

Just a thought but you reported that it occurred after you had filled up (could be pure coincidence of course but you shouldn't rule out a change that you have made by filling up). Not knowing the arrangement of your tank etc but could you inadvertently have introduced something like a piece of polythene or paper which keeps getting drawn across the the tank outlet pipe as the pump runs? It could drift away when the pump wasn't running only to be dragged back after a few seconds. Failing that could you have introduced dirt with the fill up that is blocking an in-line filter? Could the tank vent have got blocked?

Some things to check before you head off to the complicated.
