Valve Tech / Positoning the CSV
« on: January 15, 2018, 05:53:40 PM »
Hi,
Newby here with some simple questions:
1) I'm on catchment on the Big Island of Hawaii. We have earthquakes a couple times a year in the 3-4 magnitude. I read somewhere on your site (can't find it now) that the CSV shouldn't be installed in a "bind" or weight bearing situation. The picture below is of my current system and the graphics inserted are my current game plan. The copper piping was here when we bought and I really don't want to make a lot of changes in the plumbing system but I am assuming that it was used instead of PVC for support of the filters in the probable event of earthquake. I'm thinking moving the horizontal piping from the tank up to where the outside bib plumbing is would be sufficient support when placing the CSV directly above the pump.
Your thoughts please.
