Be sure to check the pump is not short cycling. That can eat a switch fast. Either make sure the pressure is correct in the blue tank OR that your non bladder style tank (depending on what you have) isn't waterlogged. If its a non bladder style they usually get waterlogged in 6 months or so.

If the contacts are wearing out, you could use a contactor for the high amperage load and run the low amp control wires through the switch.

That's how I kept pressure switches from burning up for an electric planter compressor.

Just check life cycle numbers when choosing one if you decide to go that way.
