Terracore,
If your pressure switch is also 12 years old and only now freaking, I am jealous. Mine has usually replaced every four years, after brushing it out to get another year.
I have replaced our grundfos with a new grundfos tech pump that is completely on demand, much quieter, and more efficient. The trick is to open up the new pump and silicone the seams to avoid the leaks mentioned in the reviews:

So no pressure tank. On two properties. This was maybe four months ago. (And, yes, I tried the “automatic transmission” Grundfos back in the day, lasted only a couple years.)
No luck selling the replaced pump and tank on Craigslist, so they are sitting around aging. A bargain to you if you want, but I completely recommend the SCALA2. Longevity? Can’t speak to that yet, but it’s a step up in standard of living not to hear that loud pump noise filling up the pressure tank.
A little bit less Green Acres, so to speak.
Cheers,
Kirt
