I was told by the company that replaced my tank and pump a few years back that the CSV's don't work well with my system because it has a pressure tank and the system stays under constant pressure. He said they tried modifying the CSV's to get them to work but didn't have any luck with them. He said they work well with tanks that have a bladder but mine doesn't.
Also while trying again today to adjust the CSV my pressure relief valve on on the side of the well head started to leak so now I get to replace that.

Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / CSV1A not keeping constant pressure

« on: September 01, 2019, 06:46:27 PM »

I just installed a new csv1a and I am having an issue with it keeping constant pressure.

I have a submersible pump the well depth is approx 180 feet.
The pressure tank is 120 gallons and glass lined.

I have the csv1a coming first then a sniffer valve, then a pressure switch  set to 40-60. There is a pressure gauge on the tank and a shut off valve and hose outlet bib on the bottom of the tank on the bottom opposite side.

When I turn on the water at the hose bib the csv keeps constant pressure where I want it. However turning on any faucets or hose bib further down the line causes it to decrease the pressure about 4 psi. If I close the hose bib at the well tank It increases the PSI to 60 and the well pump shuts off and cycles down to 40 and starts up again so it's like the CSV isn't even there.

Anybody have any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks
