I am working on replacing a well system from the 1960's and need advice or a product recommendation for a controller to automatically start the genset providing 220v to the pump when the tank pressure is low and shuts off the genset when the water pressure reaches system pressure.

The system works fine manually now but I am looking to automated the start and stop function based upon the tank pressure.

I have been unable to locate a contoller that will do this.

This is my first post and I am not a professional but just a remote cabin owner. Please be kind.

Get a pressure switch to start the generator. should be able to go to the auto supply house for a remote car starter. The pressure switch will signal the remote starter to turn the gen. on. Make sure you start the gen. soon enough to keep pressure in the water system.
