I agree. Glad I put a CSV on from day 1 :)

Pros: My pressure gauge needs to be replaced. What are you guys installing and finding to last a reasonable amount of time? Note, my pressure gauge is out in the elements 24/7. Thanks!

I think the issue with the sub pump in the river is the electrical.

Dont, I can tell you as a home owner..I appreciate a job done right the first time.

I use a CSV160 on an 80 gallon tank.

Adding a 67 dollar CSV to constitutes cheap insurance in my book.

I have an 80 gallon pressure tank with a CSV. I left the 20 PSI gap on the pressure switch. I have ZERO issues.

Makes sense to me. Ill let you do all the technical thinking and Ill enjoy the benefit of the CSV :)

+1...I think once you have hit the minimum run time for the motor once it has started, it doesn't matter how long it takes to fill after all water has been shut off. On my well with a CSV, once all water is off, its takes 3 minutes to fill the pressure tank and kick the well off.

I have the 'basic' CSV160 on my irrigation well and its great. Ran the hose at 2 gallons a minute for about 3 hours...not once did it cycle!

Why not have the out and fix the mistake....

Who cares. Remove it after it has been inspected...if you have inspections. Here is Texas, I believe they are 'required' but my well never had an inspection. I removed the check valve after I installed my CSV

The entire first page of results was from greenspace.org Ok when I see results for different sources sure ill worry but greenspace would probably be the first to tell you that drinking water is bad too...especially from a private well :)

I wonder too. As a DIY'er there are times when one must draw the line and call in the pro's. Personally, I value you, VM and a few others input on this thread. DONT STOP I watched the crew that drilled my well. It went very smooth and they hit no issues which made it look 100 times easier...

Thats why they passed the fire tax bill :) So glad we left CA for Texas. As for the drop pipe, when I had my well done, I dont recall reading anything about pvc being bad for water and drinking from it.

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing

1+ I use a CSV on my 80 gallon pressure tank and it works great.

VM up in Oklahoma I noticed their water towers dont have a 'bubble' up top like we do here in Texas. (see below) Are they using CSV's?????

I've got a big 80 Gallon tank (thats what was set when the well was drilled) and I personally like it with my CSV that I installed a month ago. The only reason I see to not go with a smaller tank is because I like that I have a couple minutes after shutting off the hose before my pump kicks off...

I picked up a CSV160 from Valveman. Had it installed and working in 30 minutes. Love the fact I can run a hose for however long I want and the pump never shuts off!
