foot valve has nothing to do with the pressure in the system rather it prevents the line into the pump from losing it's prime.

This all comes down to what HP your pump has, line diameter, rise of the line from the pump head to the house, where the pressure tank is located, capacity, correct charge and finally how the pressure switch is adjusted. All these factors vary from application to application.
