Default Boost Switch/Relay source?

If I want my external pump to come in when under boost, is there a good switch (adjustable?) to turn it on?

Think my Boost-A-Pump switch comes on at 3psi. I'd like my external 2nd pump to start around 0-1 psi or so.

Anyone have part numbers or a source for this?
Am doing some searches and bumping into references to a hobbs or hobbes switch. How reliable/sensitive are they? Any links to purchase? Found a link to a 5psi Hobbs switch at Summit, but would like something that engages at a lower boost level.

Trying to decipher page 4 & 5 on this doc:
http://content.honeywell.com/sensing...scorp/P3_6.pdf
Do I want p/n 78629 or 78633?
What is N.O. vs. N.C. ?

TIA!
