Frequently Asked Questions / need answers quick - about pressure
« on: June 03, 2019, 07:42:10 PM »
Two days from now my pump gets replaced. Before then I need some info on CSV. Is there only one manufacturer? I ask because my guy said they go down to 5gal/minute. But i'm reading they can go lower. Here is the main question. I have big sprinklers to water an arena. I can watch the pump cycle. i can only run one at a time to keep the reach i need. My switch is cranked up a bit to 50-68. I want max pressure while i run each arena sprinkler. I want no cycling. To recap, I want the pressure to be the pressure the pump runs at. I can't end up putting in a CSV and then see my sprinklers don't reach anymore Or see that I'm still cycling. So, when my CSV is installed what will I be asking the tech to set it at? If I remember correctly the pump really really struggles to hit 75psi. It can get to 72. Thus i settled on 50-68.
Again, as an arena sprinkler runs, and this is not mega water just mega reach, I can see when the pump is on (max reach) and when I'm into pressure vessel bleed down. It seems CSV says I can see full pump pressure the complete time. But will it be full pressure? Or does CSV dictate it must be some point below full pressure? The cycle full on + bleed down, is 30 seconds or so. Bladder Vessel looks to be 50-60 gal.
Is CSV set by pressure? or by GPM?
My pump is 55gs30. My well is shallow, sprinklers are 200ft away. If I run two at time I don't have the reach.
my well pipe is on 1.25, per well man, and s/b 2". It's 2" out to the arena.
So is CSV the answer? Will I see same reach and even better it will be constant? thanks
