Oh, right. I was confusing the 1HP with 3gpm. Once I replace the 5gpm with the 10gpm pump, will I need to remove one of the two csv's?

Once the 5gpm pump is replaced with the 10gpm, would the correct Cycle Sensor be CS1PH3-15HP?

Okay. Do sediment and iron filters go before or after the CSV's?

Okay, so it sounds like when my current pump fails, I should go with a 1HP 10gpm pump and then I can use just 1 CSV. With my current pump, I can either go with 2 CSV's and/or a 44 gallon pressure tank. Do I have that right?

Would there be any disadvantage of setting the 10gpm pump at the same depth as the current 5gpm pump (450 feet)? Also, the recommended range of the 10gpm pump is 3-16gpm. Does that mean it is bad for the pump if my yield is only 1.46 gpm?

When the well was drilled in 1989, they did a draw down test for 6 hours and the draw down water level was 145. Is this data still applicable today?

Since my water rate is at 1.46 gpm, would the 10gpm pump still work? Currently the 5gpm/1hp pump is at 450'.

Is a 10gpm pump an option for my well specs?

Okay, so are you saying the cycling benefit of a csv would not apply since my pump doesn't cycle much anyway? If so, in my case, are the benefits of using multiple csv's just being able to eliminate a tank on the floor and having constant water pressure?

I'm trying to understand and I think I'm confused. I'm pretty sure there is a pressure switch and a pressure relief valve before my pressure tank and nothing else but pipe from the well. Are you saying those two things can decrease the pressure going into the pressure tank?

Also, off topic, should I get a different sized well pump when it fails and needs replacement?

With my current pressure tank (302), I was looking up the specs and it is rated at 150 psi. Does that mean that's the max it can handle? If so, might I be okay with one csv?

What about an iron filter before the csv?

So if I was to go with the csv's would I just install the two back to back?

The incoming water line is 1" PVC. Not sure if it matters, but the pump set is 450'.

Just to make sure I told you correctly, here is what my well report said back in 89:

• Static water level is 33 when not pumping.
• Amount of reservoir is 700.5 gallons (depth of water column X 1.5/gal/ft.)
• All depths at which water was encountered - 85 flowing into well

If I understand you correctly, are you saying that because I can get a 44 gallon sized pressure tank, there's no need for a cycle stop valve?

Buying a wx250 along with the fittings would cost around $650.

Buying a CSV along with the PK1A, would cost $519.

Is this doable? Wouldn't I also be increasing the longevity of my pump and have more constant flow of water if I could do the CSV system?

I don't have a cistern storage tank. I don't think I can post a picture. Maybe because I have only a few posts? I will send the picture via your contact email listed on your homepage.
