[Shop-talk] a(nother) plumbing question

If the water supply to the house is so restricted, the
high-flow shower probably can't work very well.  It
just won't get enough water.

Fifty feet from the well to the house does not sound
all that far.   That sounds like a typical distance
from the street to the house for somebody with city
water.

Maybe:

1: The pipe from the well is corroded or clogged. it
could be replaced.

2: The well pump is not working properly.  It could
also be replaced.

3: The well simply cannot supply much water.  That
could get expensive to fix! (But I have no experience
with owning a well...)

Definitely you should get a second opinion, hopefully
from somebody with more of a "can do" attitude than
the last guy...
