Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / Re: Getting ready to have a well drilled...

« on: July 20, 2011, 10:00:49 AM »

I have now talke with two drillers.  One doesn't recommend the CSV due to a bad experience he had with one.  THe other driller is ok with using it.  In talking with the latest driller, it looks like we are probably going with a 5 hp pump, to have at least 20 gpm at 50 psi.  I am trying to figure out would I be better off and putting in a 45 gal tank so most things wouldn't kick on the pump.  If I go with a 20 gal tank I am thinking almost anytime I go to the restroom, brush my teeth, wash my hands, etc, it will kick the pump on.  THoughts?

Also, I was looking at the CSV1Z as it looks like it field serviceable by me.  How often does the diaphram and seals have to be replaced?  How expensive are the kits?

THanks,

Jimmy
