Recommend pressure switch for fresh water system

[Ssscrudddy]

I turned on my tap yesterday & water came out, then it stopped, the water pump didnt kick in (& there was water in the tank). After looking around I found what I believe to be an external pressure switch next to the water pump, so I hit it, & hey presto the pump started working.
I checked my taps & indeed I had water pressure until it stopped again, & the pump didnt kick in, & so I hit the pressure switch again & it worked again.
Rinse & repeat.
So it seems my pressure switch no longer works from turning the tap on until I hit the damn thing.

I shall try & clean it out see if that makes a difference, but I'm not practical with stuff like this (give me a computer to pull apart any day, so much easier).

So I may need a new 1, so any recommendations please.

The pump itself has 30 psi written on it.

The Square D pressure switch has been very popular in the past.

 

I bought a couple on eBay last year.

What pump?

[Ssscrudddy]

I cant remember, until I get back home tonight after work & can have a look.

I second Square D if you can find one otherwise I think Whale make one in a white plastic case but it uses a micro switch like the one in the pump so I would add a standard automotive 20 amp relay so the new switch only carries the relay coil current and the relay contact switch the pump.

I used a Whale in-line switch for a number of years when the one in my pump failed.

The pump itself is Sureflow 39010213. 30 psi. The pressure switch is a Square D.

The pressure switch seems to be working properly again now. But I think I'll order a spare anyway. Trouble is I havent got a clue what to order, there's loads to chose from.

Mine are the 9013 FSG-2 model.
