    Pressure switch
    How do I keep a shallow well pump with out a pressure tank from clicking off and on.
    I use the pump to water garden and when not in use it is turned off. My thought was to turn the pressure control box up so it could run longer without the pressure getting too high to cycle it off. This is a remote well and only used for this purpose.

    If you wish your pump to run constantly why not simply bypass the control box? If you want the pump to operate normally you will need to install a bladder tank. Good luck, Tom
