this may have been done before. but; after not liking the way the pump plused on and off on the presure switch. i came accoss cheap, simple dc motor controler kit. now i can vary the speed of the motor and set the speed so it holds just under the pressure switch threashold. witch = no more pulsing and nice even pressure

. im sure the kit could be modified to make a variable presure system as well.
may be helpfull to someone..
heres the kit i used, altho i brought it localy for almost half the price:
