FIRST has indicated that it is legal to run the pump all the time and ignore the pressure switch:

Q: R88 indicates that the Nason pressure sw. is required if we use the pump, but it's not mentioned as a 'minimum' in R86. May we use the analog sensor instead? May we run the pump all the time and not install either sensor?
A: Part 1: You must use the pressure switch. You cannot use the analog sensor. Part 2: You may run the pump all the time; you can ignore the sensor BUT you MUST use the sensor. It is unwise to run your pump all the time as it uses power from your battery.
