i'm guessing you could just disconnect one wire on the pstat to solve your problem. i'm guessing since pressure turns it on and off that you have continuity through the switch until pressure builds and then the switch opens and it quits heating. don't remember if there are 2 or 3 wires going to the pstat but if there are 3 you will probably have to tie two of those together. don't have a diagram handy but if you have a diagram for your pstat you could use that and see which 2 need to be connected. good luck.
