40 psi on and 60 psi off. That will work fine. You can go higher but I wouldn't recommend it for your pumps sake.

have mine at 60 lb,most shut off switches are set at 50 lb,
just start bringing the pressure up till you get what you need
cpvc should have a pressure rating on it, think its 200 lb or so.

As far as i know all well water systems are 60psi.
If you have city water its much higher (80 to 100)
