High Pressure Safety Cutoff Switch?

[Ted M]

My well pump pressure switch is a Square D, 30 to 50 psi.

I've changed it about three times over the last 20 years or so.

In addition, I had a High Pressure Safety Cutoff Switch installed.
This operated at a HIGHER pressure than the 50 PSI cutoff in the pressure switch mentioned above.

I had it set at 63 PSI.

In case the 50 PSI of the normal pressure switch fails, the Safety Cutoff Switch will turn the pump off.
This switch looks almost like the normal pressure switches, but serves just one purpose; high pressure.

The one I had lasted 25 years and failed.

I cannot for the life of me find a switch like this online.
The one I threw out was a Johnson Controls 2 pole pressure switch, 80 PSI (adjustable).

Does anyone know if they still make these?

You could simply daisy-chain two Square D switches and set the second one to cut-in lower and cut-out higher. You need the kind that have two adjusters to increase the spread.

Or you could install a EPS15/99 pressure switch by Cycle Stop Valves Inc. This is a simple to set pressure switch with a low pressure cutoff set at 10 lbs. and a high pressure cuttoff set at 100#. The on and off settings can be at any settings. Check it out at http://www.cyclestopvalves.com/products.html. I promise that it will fill your needs!
