Pump??:

There's some sort of high voltage box in the bottom left of the second picture too.

Do I have the different parts right?

I'll read through your comments again and see what I can find. I really appreciate the help.

Looks like you have a submersible pump but your gauge on the tanks shows plenty of preasure. My guess is that your filter needs changing.

65 pounds pressure seems good. When has your filter been changed? Perhaps that is the problem.

Go to the store with the pictures, along with any numbers or other identification on your present filter. (the big white thing) The guy at the hardware store can tell you how to change the filter.

Yes, you've identified them.

If the gauge works, 65 pounds of pressure is very good and would indicate that the pump is doing its job but something is constricting the flow! Either leaks in the system (possible) or filter is clogged (probable). Typically, there will be a "raw water" faucet which is plumbed in before the filter. If you get a high stream of water pressure from the "raw water" side, you probably have a clogged filter.

looking at your pictures I would thing your filter should be changed. You have pressure comming from the pump but can't get pass the cloged filter
