If there's a neutral in the shed, (And I sure hope there is.) then you
could run one side of the 240 (i.e. 120 vac to neutral) out and back to
the pressure switch and then all you'd need is a double pose-single
throw relay with a 120 vac coil to switch both sides of the 240 volt
power going out to the pump.


Why whats the neutral for and where on the pump do you connect this
120 not needed or used so run the wire then wire nut it at the pump??


He was saying to use the neutral to operate a 120V relay. The pump
does not need a neutral.
