When you turn on the hose faucet, the pump should not run until the pressure stored in the pressure tank is exhausted. The compressed air in the tank will force water into the system to feed the hose. As I sort of understand, you want the pump to kick on just before the air pressure reaches...

Yup, save $$ and save the pump by adding a pressure tank. Longer run time on each cycle with ~no loss of head pressure cuts the surge electrical current flow number and lets the pump do a run cycle before shutting down. As stated, the bigger the better with more noticeable effect if your water...
