WATER PRESSURE, RESIDENTIAL WELL

Let me start by saying I know I effed this whole thing up and I am also aware that I am asking a lot. So many thanks in advance for ANY advice.

Quick rundown.

Bought house (6+ years ago), water tested positive E. Coli. during inspection, forced a UV install pre-sale.

Had 10 month old when I moved in. 

Crushed 6 mo. reno in 2 mos. Barely made it for move-in (wife back to work/nanny install)
Knew (know) little to nothing about water filtration/treatment (nyc, turn spigot and go)

Took existing system (???) and added way too many filters etc. (new Dad, overblown protective instinct)

My well tested at 30-35 gpm at inspection. I replaced the pressure tank w/ same size, added 2 whole house filters, plus the UV, and stretched out the existing system.

My pressure has always sucked and I am finally tired of it and ready to fix it.

Right now I have it jacked up to like 80-90psi out of the tank( and it still sucks), doesn't seem like a great long term plan.

I have tried researching what my best course of action would be, but I have a lot of chit going on down there and am getting a little confused.

System as it exists:
Submersible to
pressure tank to
fiber whole house filter to
chlorine injection to
(2) holding tanks to
AC whole house filter to
(2) smaller AC filter units to
water softener to 
UV light...............................to (3) (yes 3) hot water heaters and a vicious maze of apparently HO installed pipe.
