Last Question: If I use a Flexcon FL-7 tank, pressure setting 40/60, which CSV1 do I want? I notice in your reply to Brandymax who has a larger tank, you recommend 5 PSI less than cutoff. Does this mean that I need the adjustable CSI1A to achieve a setting of 55PSI, or is the CSV1-50 OK? [I don't have a problem with slight drip from CSV1.]

On your products page, I see CSV1 listed with pressure settings from 30 to 60; which do you recommend for our system?
Thanks for all your replies,

Thank you. With such low flow to some parts of the house, might we not be better off pairing the CSV1 with a larger pressure tank, like the FL7 or 12? I've read downsides in the forum about the time lag for tank to fill, but wouldn't one of these tanks reduce cycling more than the 4.5 gal. tank?

From all I've been reading, I think we need the CSV1 with small tank, but I want confirmation.
Pump is submersible 3/4HP, new in '97, in 110' well. Pressure tank is original from 1989, Xtrol 203, running 40/60. I just timed the cycle with one garden hose running, and the pump cycle was about one minute on and two minutes off. [Air in Xtrol may be low--haven't checked.]
I filled a gallon jug at the kitchen sink (full force) with no other faucets open, and it took 40 seconds. That is uncomfortably close to the 1GPM the CSV1 needs to keep the pump running. If I didn't have the faucet full open, there could be cycling because I'd be under 1GPM, no? And this may be the same with the garden hose because it's usually not running full open.
Well head is about 120' from house and higher elevation than pressure tank; pressure at hose bib near tank is good.
If I've missed anything in this description anyone wants to know, please ask. Local well men want to sell us a Flexcon-12 pressure tank.
