Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / Re: sediment filter question

« on: December 22, 2025, 11:48:45 AM »

Thank you, Mr. Cary, for your knowledge concerning all things plumbing and Cycle Stop Valves, as it's a relief to hear that. The clear sediment filter has a 100 size mesh filter on it. Should I leave it or install something with a larger sized mesh, like a 30 or a 40? While it's not sand, it's more like magnetic reddish colored fragments that are about 1/16" on average with some a touch larger. I did let the hose run for a good while after I had the pump pulled due to wires rubbing on the casing. Definitely could hear some bits through the lines!

Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / sediment filter question

« on: December 21, 2025, 04:30:54 PM »

Hello there, I have a cycle stop valve installed in my well house. The pictures below are located in an attached garage. When I replaced my large failed tank with a smaller one, I noticed that it was filling up with debris. I put a sediment filter in between the pressure tank and the vertical Tee coming from out of the concrete. Is this okay to do?
Thanks

Not much room outside the well.  To install it there you may need to go straight out a foot or so with the CSV, then double elbow back to the pipe going underground.  It the pump is set on plastic pipe you could also install the CSV125 in the well, just under the well seal.  If it is steel pipe you would need the SS version CSVS125.

Hi, Cary, and thank you for responding! I am very new at this, so I hope I don't sound too dumb; however, I have been reading and looking at the pictures your other customers have posted. I can't find it again for the life of me, but was it you that said don't install in a bind? I'm trying to find out what that exactly means. Presuming it doesn't refer to sharp angles, I was thinking about using a few 45 elbows to 'wrap' it around the well housing so that when I put the well house back on, I won't hit any of the plumbing. The thing is heavy too so I want to do it as compactly as possible without rendering the CSV useless or leading to other problems.

Greetings! I recently purchased a 40 psi cycle stop valve which I would like to fit somehow near my well. How should I plumb this in so it would work effectively for my setup?   https://i.postimg.cc/T3zNpGbw/DSC-0057.jpg

Thank you for any help and suggestions.
