The Cycle Stop Valve only keeps the pump running all day if you have water running all day. Even with a small tank the CSV only lets the pump cycle maybe 30 times a day for normal house use, which is the same as having a big tank and no Cycle Stop Valve. The CSV is most advantageous when using...

30' of drop adds 13 PSI to what the pump is doing. That gives you better pressure but not constant pressure. Just turn on a shower or a sprinkler and go watch the pressure switch and gauge. The pump will come on at 40 and run for a minute to fill the tank to 60 before it shuts off. Then it...

Looks great, except is it missing the Cycle Stop Valve. Still plenty of room on the inlet side of that tank to add a CSV1A when you decide you want good strong constant pressure and for the pump and tank to last longer. Just need to cut the poly pipe back about 4".

Be glad to help but don't understand the problem. Maybe post some pictures and start a new thread of your own.

I am also about as old fashioned as you can get. 50+ years ago I was installing the largest galvanized tanks I could get on my truck and just testing those new fangled captive air tanks (bladder/diaphragm tanks). But even though they were suppose to be physically much smaller, I would use two...

Any kind of pit is a pain. Confined space to work in and causes humidity that rust out the pressure tank, and turns all electrical components like the pressure switch green. You nearly need to keep a fan blowing air through the pit to keep the humidity down. A pitless adapter with the tank...

Large pressure tanks are an old way of controlling a pump and require lots of space and heat. With more modern ways of controlling a pump like a Cycle Stop Valve large pressure tanks are no longer needed. With something that solves the cycling problem like a CSV controlling the pump, a tank as...

It is the high frequencies that I need. Mine do not even amplify the low frequencies as I don't need that. Don't know what frequency the Oticon goes up to but until I got them I thought frogs, crickets, and birds had gone extinct. Now when I go out in the woods and turn them up to max it is...

Wow! I am gonna have to try that. Lol! However, a lot of things disappear when I drink. :ROFLMAO: Mine are Oticon. Been very happy.

Even with hearing aids I didn't realize how much lip reading I was doing. While everyone was wearing those stupid masks I couldn't understand a sole. Talk to me while wearing a mask and I am just guessing at what they are saying. Been wanting to try the over the counter aids as they will let...

Buried several of my best friends over many years. Never easy to do. Sorry for your loss. But they bring so much joy while they are with us. I think it was the queen who said "Greif is the price we pay for love". I have grieved deeply many times as payment for the joy and love they gave me...

I would not want to go back to living without it. Only way I can hear the phone while in the car, which I am a lot. I am able to turn down the road noise and turn up the audio volume and equalizer. Phone is the speaker, so just keep it in my shirt pocket and have hands free for driving or...

I think everyone should try their hand a drilling a well. it will teach you more about the laws of physics than you can ever learn in school. Lol! A large diameter well 100' deep is a pretty good undertaking. But it can be done. Normally you don't add pipe as you go with a spudder or cable...

The 1/4" nipple to the pressure switch has a tendency to clog. Be sure and use brass or Stainless, never galvanized. But pressure switches can stick closed for other reasons as well. Ants can get in the points and short them together. I use the medicated ear tags for cattle and hang one on...

Low pressure switch only catches a major break. Won't stop pump unless pressure gets really low. Water heater T&P valves are set at 150 psi. Your pump can't even build that much. Need a 75 psi relief valve for when the pressure switch sticks. Could easily burn up pump when that overpressure...
