Ordered the CSV12560-1 and works great .... I did have to up the pressure range from 40-60 to  ~ 50-70 ... now pump runs anytime a hose is in use or of course sprinkler system ...it will come on a cpl times a day because of a few minor leaks which I am addressing ... thanks for your help ...... mike bell  .... ne florida ....

sorry wasn't clear .... CSV has been in service since 2006 ...to my knowledge has always worked well ....  Attached a more simple flow chart of how its plumbed ... CSV1.250 is the model .... Also to be clear the 82gal tank is still plumbed in with the ruptured Bladder and is full of water .... One thing I will mention is I plumbed the 2gal tank with 1/2" Plex  ...I didn't think it would matter, maybe it does?  ...all other piping is 1" .... thanks ...mike

Greetings ...  I have been running a  1.5 HP Sta-Rite pump on a 82 Gal.  Bladder tank for 25 years ... well Pump anyway  .... tank bladder goes out every 2-4 years ... tanks run 2-300 or more .... The pump feeds my Irrigation and outside Hose Bibs .... I decided to try the small tank route (2 gal).... I left the pump mounted on the 82 gal tank(ruptured Bladder) and just tee'd off where my pressure switch port  is located .... my issue the pump will cycle every 15 seconds  with one or two hose bibs open .... seems ok with the irrigation running .... any ideas ?    thanks ... mike   (northeast fl)
