My parents have a cottage with an electric water tank in the bathroom. The place is often left unattended for 2-3 weeks at a time (during cottage season), so a leak in the water tank would result in the entire contents of the well being pumped into the bathroom.
To prevent this from happening I want to install a 3-way switch on the pump, with one switch located upstairs, so that the pump can be turned off when leaving the cottage. (There also needs to be a switch in the crawlspace with the pump for use when priming.)
However, I need a pilot on the upstairs 3-way so that we don't wind up with both of them turning it "off" before leaving. I couldn't find any wiring diagrams dealing with this exact situation, so I'd appreciate it if one the local wiring gurus could let me know if this is correct (ground excluded for clarity):
