yeah another down side to pressure tank/switch is that they are above ground and have to be protected from freezing....i have a submersible and just operate it off the breaker..no pressure tank or anything...i also took the check valve out of the pump so that when i turn it off the water in the pipe runs back down to the well as added measure from freezing...many different ways to do what you want, none of which would be that hard to set up
