Ok.  Cary I really appreciate you taking the time to answer all of these questions. 

Last question I hope:

Switch is 50 70 which is actually close to 50 75 valve is holding constant pressure at 45 with high demand usage going.  If I set the valve to 60 it wall in between pressure switch limits.  Do I still need to increase the pressure switch? 

I’m new to all this well business and just want to make sure I set it right and don’t break something. 

Also found the instructions on setting the valve.

Just to confirm as I don’t want break the valve.  No pressure switch adjustment.  But how do I adjust the valve?  The manual doesn’t explain.

Low end of pressure switch looks to be about 50 and high end just over 70.  Can I adjust the csv to 60 with these settings on the pressure switch? Also is there literature on the csv adjustments somewhere?

Cary.

Installed your setup last weekend using the hallmark 1 hp submersible pump you recommended, pump is about 10’ down.  Quick question is there a way to get more pressure out of the csv?  When I open my sprinkler zone the gauge on the csv is holding steady at 45 psi.  Is this a limitation of the pump of is there an adjustment I’m missing on the csv?

Thanks,

Mike

Is there a J10s submersible model? If not is there a submersible brand and model you recommend? Just trying to look at all options before I pull the trigger.  Thinking it may make sense to go this route since I need to go into the well anyway.

Cary- given my application, which submersible pump would you recommend?  I still have not ordered and am hobbling by with the old pump.

Cary,

Thanks for all your help.  The pump purchase is that last piece of the puzzle for me.  I’m not trying to be a pain here but have a relatively limited understanding of well pumps and am excited to use the cycle stop system.  I really don’t want to go through the effort of installing the submersible pump at this point.  Given all of the factors I have provided here (3 bedroom two bath house, acid neutralizer and softener and a lawn irrigation system).  What would be the best shallow well jet pump to work with the equipment I have purchased from cycle stop valves?

so without any modifications to the setup it will work if the Max pressure of the pump is 72psi?

Will that pump work with the 50/70 pressure setup i bought from you?

Will the j10s procure the pressure I need?  Also how do you calculate for the depth on the chart?

Cary,

Had a few setback and am looking to order the pump this week.  Still torn, given the situation and pretty big cost difference between the j15s and j5sh. I’m really torn what to do.  Given the setup I posted in the first post do you feel the j5sh will be sufficient? 

Thanks,

Mike

You will lose about 10 PSI through the softener/filter.  So starting with a 40/60 switch and constant 50 PSI from a CSV will only give you 40 PSI at the shower.  A submersible would give you more flow and pressure.  But if you want to use a single pipe jet, a J5SH or a J15S will have a max pressure of 80, so you can run 50/70 on the pressure switch.  This will give you a constant 60 PSI from the CSV, which after the softener/filter will still give you 50 PSI to the showers.  And the PK1A will work with any of those pressure settings and it doesn't matter if it is a sub or jet.  But I would recommend the 10 gallon size tank if you end up using the 50/70 pressure switch setting.

Cary,

I’m about to order the pump and I’m convert to single pipe setup.  If it was you ordering would you go with the J5SH or the J15S?

Thanks Cary.  I just placed the order.  I didn’t see a place to specify the 50/70 pressure switch though. 

Thanks for all of your help.

Cary,

My old system is finally failing so I’m ready to order.  Based on your input from above, I’m trying to make sure I order everything properly.  The pressure tank option will be 10 gallon, which pressure switch option and csv1a pressure do I select?

I’m going to go with the J5SH and convert my two setup as I don’t think they make a pump for two pipe setups that can reach 80 psi.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Cary

In order to stay with the two pipe system I have. It looks like to have the 50/70 cycle stop valve working I would need the J5 with the high pressure setting. 

Can you confirm this would work with your system.

Thanks

Mike
