Valve Tech / Re: CSV1A, fill time & rolloff, strange operation

« on: September 24, 2016, 03:19:40 PM »

Greetings, I have a question. In the firs post dated July 30, 2016, Joea mentioned he just installed a CSV1A.

Your answer:   A little larger tank like a 20 gallon size would solve all those problems.  When the guts get worn in the CSV1A it will start having more minimum flow.  If it is 2 GPM now it will be 2.1 then 2.2 and so on as the gut pack wears down.

If he just installed this valve and has ware that will be increasing, How fast can we expect these CSV to ware out?

Is his valve in very acid conditions of something of that nature? I'll re read the posts to see if my answer in here.

Thank you

I re read the above, so it's the pressure differential that causes the ware, I guess because it's a rather large differential?

I don't understand much yet, I have to admit.  but  I'm working on it.

Valve Tech / Re: Drilling vent hole

Hi, May I ask what is the vent hole for. Is it required? 

and Is there any reason the CSV 12560 can't be installed horizontal out side the well casing?

Thanks

Valve Tech / What model CSV should I use?

« on: September 24, 2016, 10:49:38 AM »

Working on our water system now. The Bladder had gone out of the pressure tank, the pump had over Cycled, the capacitor had failed and the pressure switch had burned.

I've replaced the control box, and the pressure switch and plan today to replace the tank.

I want to install a CSV.

Question: Which model?

There are 4 in the single family, we water our trees and lawns daily during, except in winter, with an automatic sprinkler system with 6 zones.
I think, our 1hp pump puts out 10gpm.

It would be nice if we can use a lower priced unit, we have three properties with wells.

Thank you

Richard
