Valveman,
OK. Now this makes a lot more sense to me. I originally had the impression that you meant that the pump should run 24/7. I know that this just is not feasible for most residential water systems. But, preventing the pump from cycling on and off during a shower, filling a tub, washing clothes or watering the lawn or a garden makes a great deal of logical sense. As long as you can maintain sufficient pressure, the pump should just continue to run (not stop and restart). Appropriately sizing the pressure tank and setting the precharge correctly as well as setting the pressure switch correctly, and selecting and programming a CSV to the specific water use and needs would all combine to make this possible and reduce the cycling of the pump and motor.
You know, a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) could be programmed to provide a great deal of support and control of all sorts of parameters involved here. With the appropriate sensors and I/O modules I could design a really sweet system to control a pump and pressure system. Unfortunately, this would be an expensive option. Even if I were to provide the programming and setup labor for free, the materials would be highly prohibitive for most consumers. But, it would be a really sweet system!
