Valve Tech / Re: CSV1A Installation question

Thanks. This valve is exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve always tried to maximize pump runtime when watering, but it was a manual process.

Is both the pump side and tank side of the valve male 1” threads? I’m not sure if I’m reading the diagram correctly.

Edit:
Ok. Looks like the valve is dual threaded...1" female and 1 1/4" male on each end?

Valve Tech / CSV1A Installation question

« on: June 28, 2020, 01:58:31 PM »

Hi.
I have a 400’ well with a 1 hp 10 gpm submersible pump. My pressure tank has failed and needs to be replaced. Since the 10 gpm pump is too large for my well, I was going to try a 5 gpm dole valve but then started reading about the CSV1A.

I’m going to remove the check valve near the tank as there is already one in the well. It looks like I can just add the CSV1A to the 1” pipe where the check valve is. Correct?

Also what size tank would you recommend? I run 30/50 pressure. (From your faq it looks like a 4.5 gallon tank is recommended.)

Finally, I live in NH and my well pipe is some kind of plastic pipe. 24 years old but not brittle. Will the pipe withstand the pressure increase?

Thanks,
Vic
