I am considering purchasing a Square D FSG2J24M4CP Water Pump Pressure Switch with Low-Pressure Cutoff for the pressure tank connected to my well pump. We have a very deep well (420') with a high static water level 40' but low recovery (2 gpm). We like high water pressure so we wanted a switch that was set at 40/60 (though I'm aware that these can be adjusted). I was advised to get one with a manual low pressure cut off that would turn off the pump in the event the pressure dropped too low from using the water up faster than the well could recover it. I found a pressure switch that had the manual low pressure cut-off lever on the side of it, but it was preset at 20/40. In looking for a 40/60 version, the one shown above is the only one I've found. It is preset at 40/60 and is supposed to cut off automatically if the pressure drops below 40. Is it safe to assume that the pump would be turned back on automatically when the pressure reached 40 again? Any suggestions as to how this switch will work in my given situation would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
