New Pump System

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.

The manual for the PK1A kit may not have instructions for adjustment, as they come preset.  But you can get instructions from the CSV1A manual.  Basically just turn on a shower or something about 3 GPM, and adjust the bolt on the CSV to hold the pressure you want.  if you are increasing the pressure, you will need to adjust the pressure switch up first, so the pump does not shut off when you increase the setting of the CSV.

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.

With a 50/70 switch you can set the CSV as high as 65 while running 3 gpm.
