This was sent by a CSV customer.
An opportunity arised to have another valve installed for a client. The pump is capable of doing a maximum head of 70 psi and a maximum volume of 16 gpm. This was installed at a small KFC outlet. The client indicated they lost two motors in the last three years. After investigating it was discovered that the controller used to start and stop the pump had no draw down volume. It's called a flowmatic and it functions on the principle of flow. Once a faucet opens the pump will start then stop once there's no water flow. In a restaurant situation this type of device won't function properly, as demand will change from time to time. Added to which the pump will come every time a faucet is opened. With that being said the new pump installed was fitted with a CSV1 and the technicians are very impressed on how the device functioned. The pressure switch was set to start at 50 psi and stop at 70psi. Once the pressure gauge reaches 65 psi one would see the needle suddenly slow down and crawl it's way to 70 psi. The pump runs for 1 min and 20 secs and this is with a 6 gallon pressure tank. That's unheard of without a CSV. Hats off again to you guys this device really works. Going to try to workout the bugs in the unit installed at the office and will keep you up to date on the progress. The attached files are pics of the installation.
Thanks Again
