ProPortioner makes one called the ProSwitch. Not sure what they run. PWS carries them.

They are like $450.

 I'll order a bunch, get a better deal, put them together and put my logo on them and give you a deal of $300.00!

This looks pretty interesting. Do you know what the vacuum port is for?

I got an email saying the supplier about doubled the price. I went with a different one so I don't know. I called the company after reading the info and found this will work. The recomended list was about 46.00. I got it on Amazon for 38.00. I bought three. One for back up.

This one looks good too. http://catalog.marquestscientific.com/item/gauge-isolators-mini-tuff-guard-no-gauge-installed/rd-no-gauge-installed-pvc-mini-tuff-gauge-isolator/mtg-22-pvc

 Perfect Mario! The whole thing is to just get the pump to work just like a well pump as cheaply as possible!

Cant wait to see one of these put together. I want to change over to a pressure switch but in on a brad new control wizard and it does work great.

 As soon as the isolators get here I will be installing the set up, most likely next week. I'm not sure when I'll be able to test it since there is no water in the tank.

You working on this yet?

All the parts are in as of today. I finished the new remote for down streaming and the new float switch with 12V valve for the buffer tank today. Tomorrow I will start and hopefully finish the booster pressure switch. I'll post pictures of it all when I'm finished unless you would prefer a selfie video!

I wouldnt go higher than the 80/100 psi switch.

 We're running at about 120 so I was going to adjust it to about 90/110. Those switches can be adjusted to 80/100.

---

Do you rinse with mains (positive force)? My understanding is the booster discharge pressure with positive force is closer to 200 psi. Isn't a pressure switch rated for 120 PSI too low?

There was a thread on Facebook about several guys who had problems with the Pro Switch, leaking oil, PWS is helping them out but a bunch of guys were upset for sure. Growing pains and debugging new things is always part of the process.

   This is what happens when things get complicated. Keeping things simple save a lot of aggravation and time

I am still in R & D with this and will be spending a lot of time with one this month. I have no clue what they are doing but I do know you MUST have an isolator between the SH and the pressure switch or the SH will eat the diaphragm in the switch. For what those things cost they should have fully tested it well before excepting the first dollar! I can build one for under $150.00 with all the misc. parts.

 There was a issue with a burr in the cup on pro switch from manufacturing and the bladder was rubbing and putting a hole in it. Once we found out what was causing it they fixed the problem.
