Merry Christmass, I am at a loss how you can lift water 225 feet with a one pipe system unless the water level is less then 25 feet from the pump level. Be carefull if you pull that pipe out of the well it will be very heavy if it has water in it. You can get a pressure switch that will turn the pump off if the pressure falls below 20#. These are used on cisterns to turn the pump off if you run out of water. It has to be reset to start the pump. The check valve at the pump should kept the pump from loosing prime. The only thing that I can think of your loss of water is none of you faucets are leaking they will act like check valves. If the pump looses prime do to the weight of the water pulling away from the pump, when you turn on the house water the water runs back into the pump and reprimes it. This is only a wild a** guess. I would replace the pressure switch with the automatic one. I will be interested to hear of what you find. Bill
