Installing Auto pump shut off

Quick question guys,

 

I'm new to RO/DI and I've installed a booster pump to increase PSI on my system. Everything is working but I would like the booster pump to turn off automatically when I turn the water off. I don't have any fancy setup or float valves or anything like that. I simply turn the water off manually but I would like the pump to turn off when I do.

 

Here's the question; Where do I install the pressure switch to turn the booster pump off in this scenario? Most setup I can find show it with float valves and auto-shut off kits, but I don't have all that fancy stuff. I just want the pump to turn off when I shut the water off going to the system (inlet).

 

Thanks

Run a solenoid on the water line. A small board, 12V power supply and a couple 12V relays should do the trick.

 

You can power a couple relays with the 12v power supply. Run your pump and the solenoid off the relays. Run it all to a common switch.
