Title: cycle stop valve installer
Post by: BIG1664 on August 26, 2010, 08:15:55 PM

I live in Minot North Dakota and I have a bad pressure tank.  I came across this site while researching pressure tanks.  How do I find an installer for the cycle stop valve or sidekick?  I was also wondering about the pressure switch location.  I have a goulds JS5+ pump with the pressure switch on the side of the motor.  On all he diagrams I saw the switch was inbetween the pump and the pressure tank.  Does the location matter?
Any help woud be greatly appreciated.

There are probably not many pump installers in ND.  Even a half way decent plumber can install the CSV or Pside-Kick.  We can talk them through it if you need help.

Yes the pressure switch needs to be after the CSV.  So with a jet pump you need to move the sensing line for the pressure switch from the pump casing to the manifold after the CSV.
