Irrigation / Wanting to use a CSV for an Irrigation Pump
« on: April 11, 2018, 06:23:02 AM »
So I pull irrigation water off of a canal near my house, which gives about 12-15 psi suction pressure to a 2 HP irrigation pump. I have an automatic sprinkler system I’m setting up with 5 stations. The estimated flow that we went with for the design is going to be 45 gpm at 50 psi per station. I will only be running one station at a time, so I’ll have timers set up where one station shuts off and the next one opens directly after hopefully this will still allow the pump to stay running between stations.  I have a little 5 gallon pressure tank and a 40 - 60 pressure switch, my question is which CSV should I go with ? Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the reply Cary that does help clarify. It's kind of common sense but you don't really think about the fact that a deep well pump is being restricted the deeper it is. So for example adding a CSV and only needing 1 gpm flow from a sink is the same as putting the pump deeper in the well. It shouldn't hurt the pump if it is sized right. I'll probably be coming back for some more information on a few things after I get the well drilled and know for sure what I have to work with. Thanks again.
