Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / Some basic installation question for a CSV1A
« on: May 24, 2015, 05:01:55 PM »
Going to be adding a CSV1A soon and have some questions
Documentation states that the CSV is the first "device" after the well.
Question 1. There currently is a tee'd test path on the line as the first item after the line enters the room where the tank/filter/etc is. It is only be used (valve open) when the normal path is closed off. It is used to check things like free flow volume.
Question 2. There are both a flow and pressure sensor in the main path I'm a semi-retired process engineer that wants to monitor how the setup is behaving. Any issues ?
Question 3. There is a Rusco Spin-Down sediment filter. Would it not be better for the filter to go before the CSV ? The well has not been used in a long time and with 360' of 1" galvanized there are some pretty good size pieces of what look like scale coming up.
If it is recommended that the filter should go after the CSV, what keeps the CSV from getting in a condition where the 1 GPM "closed" opening from clogging or sediment hanging on the valve seat(s) ?
Thanks
