I love our cycle stop valve!
I added 1000 gallons to our in-ground pool today. Our CSV made that happen in a single continuous (and now totally silent) pump cycle. Our water pressure is perfect for showers and everything else. With a little more adjustment I succeeded in getting our pressure switch to operate at 45-60 PSI. We now have a fully optimized domestic water system.
Thank you so much for your guidance! Your tip about plumbing a flexible hose into our water line was genius. I bought a 7/8" I.D. washing machine hose and plumbed about 3 feet of it above the CSV after cutting out an L-shaped 4 foot section of copper pipe. The hose arches through a gradual 90 degree turn which dissipates vibrations throughout the radius of the arch. Now our well pump is completely silent upstairs. I can hear it in the basement only if I listen very closely. Thank you, thank you, thank you! No more waking everybody up when the pump runs.
I'm a 100% satisfied CSV owner! I've been spreading the word to everyone I know and will continue to do so. Thanks also to everyone here who showed the path to plumbing nirvana.
