We used the two switches at the same time to keep the pump from cycling when using only one sensor. It responds instantly to low pressure and does not use a delay. We hope to use sensors to do away with delays since it may be critial for the robot to respond during the delay.

The pump starts when below 110 PSI and stops when above 115 PSI. The fall between 115 and 110 does not cause a pump start. Even for small leaks, the pump only cycles about 2 times per minute not 20 times per minute like before.
