We had one for years in New York, I know of no way to do this. I suppose there may now be one available that has a regulater. We replace ours from in the basement to submersible to get more pressure. It reall didn't help all that much... Good Luck...

Ren, I'm not sure what you are talking about. If a pump has sufficient water and is in good working order, you can certainly adjust pressure with the switch. It has been done countless times. Now, you might have a problem with not being able to get sufficient pressure from your pump. That's a separate problem. Is that the case with you?

I replaced an above ground pump with a submersible. Our pressure was adequate. I did not know you can adjust the
Pressure on the pump by using the switch. Thanks.
