Frequently Asked Questions / CSV1A with 10 Gallon tank - install vertically

« on: October 10, 2019, 07:15:03 AM »

I purchased the 10 gallon tank with my CSV valve and was planning on installing the tank horizontally until I read in the CSV instructions that if using the 10 Gal tank it MUST be mounted vertically. I have seen some of the pictures in the review section that show some people having it horizontally mounted. Is the note in the instructions mainly due to the extra weight concern or is there another reason that it should be mounted vertically? I was going to provide extra support for the tank if mounting horizontally.

Frequently Asked Questions / Pump Sizing Help

« on: September 26, 2019, 08:00:37 PM »

Looking to replace an old cistern jet pump and bladder tank. Cistern is approx. 12' deep and near the pump. Current jet pump is 1/2 hp with a 33 gallon tank. There are 4 people in house with 3 full baths. Water pressure seems to be adequate (currently switch set at 30/50) but I am also looking to add a Watts (50 micron) whole house filter. I recently purchased the PK1A-LT with a 10 gallon tank but trying to decide between the Goulds J5S or the J5SH pump (1/2hp). Is the J5SH overkill or would that be a better choice over the J5S? Also, would it be better for the filter to be before the pump or after?
