Post by: maverick on May 02, 2022, 03:41:48 PM
can I replace my...
CSV125-1 Cycle Stop Valve 50 PSI for a
CSV125-1 Cycle Stop Valve 60 PSI and a digital pump switch.
?


-4" well - 315' deep - pump set 280' - 230' to water - 1-1/4" drop pipe.

Sure. As long as the pump can make the extra 10 PSI.  Do you know anything about the size of the pump?

the pump is 1.5 HP 10 GPM.

could you suggest a CSV that would work for me with less leakage?

Sure, the CSV1A will not leak.  We will even give you credit for the CSV125 against the CSV1A.  The CSV125 is a wonderful valve and the one I use at my house.  But it does require good clean water or it will leak on the floor.  None of our other valves can leak on the floor, but they also do not have quite as good of flow characteristics as the CSV125.

will the  CSV1A work with my 4.4 bladder tank and give me 60 PSI?
Title: Re: CSV125-1 Cycle Stop Valve

Certainly!  The CSV1A is even made so you can screw the tank directly to the CSV if you want.

what digital pressure switch do you recommend for the CSV1A?
 I would like to have a constant 60 PSI.
what side of the valve is the leak from my CSV125-1? is it on the tank side that would cycle the pump when leaked down?

Any leak will cause the tank to drain and the pump to cycle on and refill the tank.

You can get a digital pressure switch from us here.  https://cyclestopvalves.com/products/electronic-pressure-switch-1

But I don't recommend it.  If you want something that looks cool and only last a few years a digital switch is good.  If you don't want to have any problems for 20-30 years use a regular mechanical pressure switch with a CSV.

"the CSV1A does not have quite as good of flow characteristics as the CSV125."

what are the differences in the flow?

 "We will even give you credit for the CSV125 against the CSV1A."
how much would the credit be and how do I go about getting it?
with this info. I will go ahead and order the CSV1A.

thanks...

The credit would be what ever you paid for the CSV125.  Just mention I offered to do this for you when ordering the CSV1A and the credit will be put against your order.

what are the differences in the flow rates of the CSV125-1 and the  CSV1A ?
Title: Re: CSV125-1 Cycle Stop Valve

sorry about the "been sick".
I got my new  CSV1A installed... thanks for the refund.
 had to dial back on the sprinkler's radius, it was throwing water on the centerline of the highway...LOL
I changed the sprinkler head tips from 3.5 GPM to 5 GPM and it still didn't change the distance it was throwing. so I dialed them back (all 73 heads). I also change the run time from 30 mins. a zone to 20 mins... 7 days a week.
temps in the 90* - 100* all week, total electric home and the electric bill was $181 for the month. that was with the leaking...CSV125-1. now with the new CSV1A and being able to cut my run times by 33%, looking forward to next months bill...LOL
thanks again for another great product...

very happy...
the heat index has been running over 100* to as high as 107* for the last 3 weeks. I had to bump my run times back up to 30 mins. each zone to keep the grass happy...(9 hrs. a day 7 days a week). with my HVAC system running with it's tongue hanging out... LOL my electric bill was only $57 more than last month. the bill showed where that was $1.11 a day more than same time last year.

thanks for all your help.

Sorry it is so hot.  But glad you have a Cycle Stop Valve or your pump would be cycling itself to death.  Lol!
