To reduce pressure to the house, but keep higher pressure for irrigation, add a PRV (pressure reducing valve) where the water enters the house. If you modulate the flow with a partially closed valve, the pressure will fluctuate in the house. So if the dishwasher fills, the flow to the shower goes down. Somebody flushes a toilet, and the pressure is reduced for a while in the house. If the clothes washer is doing its thing, the pressure will pulse thru the house.
Thanks,I misspoke about “cutting pressure “. I just meant I wanted to shut it off. Thanks for all your responses. I really appreciate it…

If you want to go with something from this century you could use something like the Aeotec Heavy Duty Smart Switch. That way you can turn the pump off from your phone or set it on a timer. When using a Cycle Stop Valve to control the pump with a little 4.5 or 10 gallon size tank, there would only be a gallon or two of water in the tank if something were to spring a leak.
