My well system uses a Square D pressure switch to control a jet pump that feeds off a 2500 gallon tank and pressurizes a typical 50 gallon bladder type tank. Here'a a link to the pressure switch:

This morning I once again awoke to no water pressure, and sure enough, the pressure switch was sticking again. This is the third one in nine years that started doing it, and each time I replace it I find no debris or deposits in the feed nipple or the switch itself. The contacts just seem to stick open, and if I flip the lever on the side of the switch a few times, the contacts will close a few more times then it'll stick open again. I've also had the contacts stick closed.
I'd like to know if there is a common problem, and if there is a more reliable/durable brand of pressure switch that someone could recommend.
Thanks in advance,
Scot
