    Programmable Vacuum Switch?

    I just set up my vacuum chamber (pressure cooker pot with a diaphragm pump.) It holds vacuum well, so well, in fact, that I'd like to not have to run the pump continuously. Anyone know of a reasonably priced programmable vacuum switch so I can turn the pump on and off as needed? Thanks, Gary
