Thanks for checking with us before you bought that big tank. You will be glad you did. In the past, the only way to help with the cycling problem was to use a larger pressure tank. But even a room full of tanks doesn’t stop the cycling, just slows it down a bit. The CSV will stop the cycling and let you use a very small tank. The CSV controls how much flow the pump is putting out, making it exactly match the amount being used at the time, so the water flows right past the tank, straight to the faucet. So the size of the tank is almost moot.
We use a 4.5 gallon tank in our Pside-Kick kits that comes with the CSV1A valve, pressure switch, gauge, pressure relief valve, pipe fittings, wall mount brackets, even a roll of Teflon tape for only $399.00. That is going to be much less than you can get a big tank for, and the CSV will do a better job than a half dozen big tanks. A 20 gallon tank only holds 5 gallons of water and a 80 gallon tank only holds 20 gallons of water. So you really can’t get a tank large enough to actually stop the cycling.
I know it sounds to good to be true, but it really is that simple. The CSV will stop the cycling, allow you to use a very small tank, and will hold the pressure steady instead of the 20 PSI up and down constantly the way you have now.
The plumber trying to sell you a larger tank is doing the same thing we would have told you about 20 years ago. The CSV was introduced in 1993, and we have never recommended a large tank since then. The plumbers and pump men don’t know about us because the pump suppliers and manufacturers are trying to keep us a secret. The CSV is what they consider a “disruptive product”. It makes pumps last longer, use smaller tanks, and eliminates a lot of other problems with pump systems. So if you make a living selling pumps and tanks, you don’t want your customers finding out about a CSV.
This is why you found us on the web page. We have spent 20 years advertising to the pump and plumbing professionals, and finally realized they are not going to tell their customers about something that will save so much money. So now you can find us on the Internet and educate yourself about what works best. You no longer need to rely only on the information you get from the installer. After all, the installer wants to sell you what makes him the most money, so even if he knows about Cycle Stop Valves, he probably won’t mention them to you.
