I have high iron content in my well water (the water can have an orange color). What, if anything, do I have to do to make a CSV 140 work properly?

Iron will slim up and clog the air vents in a CSV1 type valve. I would recommend drilling an additional vent hole the same way we do when the CSV is submerged. Then it would be safer to use the CSV with a Cycle Sensor. The Cycle Sensor will shut the pump down before it is damaged from cycling if the CSV gets plugged with iron and malfunctions.
