    You can turn up the settings on your switch. Turn off breaker - remove grey cover - turn large center nut one or two turns clockwise - turn power back on.

    This is trial and error. Doing the above will increase both the cut in and cut off points. If it gets higher then you want, then turn the nut CCW.

    Most people don't go over a 40# cutin and 60# cutoff setting.

    I am assuming here that your pump is capable of getting that kind of pressure.

    Pap, give more info. Like what kind of pump? How deep is the well? Type of piping? Bladder? All this will get you a better answer. Good luck
