Okay. If I want to keep it non-electric, does it make sense to use a traditional mechanical float valve at the buffer tank at the top of the hill, and a CSV with its small pressure tank and pressure switch down the hill at the creek pump? Sorry I have lots of questions. I'm a building...

Just to be sure, I'm wanting to use a float valve, not a float switch. On that subject, will a float valve be harder on the creek pump than a float switch because it will hold pressure in the line in addition to head? I heard that pumps like some backpressure.

Thanks. I want to remove the pressure tanks from the creek pump. Would it benefit to add a CSV to the creek pump as well as? If so, should I add the CSV and its little tank at the bottom or at the top when it enters the booster pumphouse?
