    There's probably a little grey box called a switch on your system, probably very near the pressure tank. Turn off the power, remove the grey cover, and turn the large center nut clockwise two or three full turns. Turn the power back on and try that out. Continue to adjust until you get the pressure you want. Word of advice: A max of 60# is about where most folks seem to stop. Jet pumps are not known for their ability to push pressure up high.

    This site has a very nice description of how its done.
