I am working on a house with a old well that produces a great deal of sediment. This sediment and iron prematurely damaged the prior pressure tank and as a result and despite my explaining why it's dangerous to put a filter before the pressure switch, the owner had me install a10*4.5 sediment filter (25 micron) before the tank and switch (which was already installed.) The location of the filter is a good distance before the tank (it's in the house vs the tank in the crawlspace). He has been diligent about replacing the filter in a timely manner, but he is about to sell the home and wants to have me install a switch before the filter to kill the pump in the event it reaches a dangerously high pressure due to a dirty filter. Just in case the new owner is not as diligent. Relocating the switch from the tank to prior to the filter would be quite difficult, whereas a secondary shutoff switch would be very easy to install as the pump wiring junction box happens to be right under where I installed the filter.
The tank switch is 40/60. Is there a switch that anyone can recommend for this application without me relocating the primary switch?
Thank you in advance
