My system is 3HP well pump that pumps to a 2500 gallon cistern. From the cistern I go to a goulds J10s 1HP electric. My original plan was to put a CSV in to keep the goulds running at 50PSI constant. My issue is I have an 86 gallon AO Smith pressure tank and the CSV is supposedly supposed to be on a really small tank to prevent low flow issues. I was a bit over my head on doing this so I paid my well company to do this install. He didn't like the CSV at all and didn't want any part of it so it's set up as a standard 40/60 pressure switch. I know exactly how the system works, is wired, etc., but making sure it was all done quickly was key as I didn't have time to research the 3-float alarm system.
I'm not happy with a 40-60 delta. It is noticeable using the shower/tub when it hits the low/high extremes and I'd like to narrow it a bit.
Option A is put in the CSV and try to make it work with the big pressure tank and/or get a small pressure tank.
Option B is to adjust my range on the goulds pressure switch to about 45-60 and see if I can live with it.
Any suggestions on the best route? I already bought the cycle stop valve for 50psi as the Goulds J10s has plenty of flow at 50 PSI for my household needs. It's rated at 16.6GPM with 5' of lift. I have no lift and, in fact, have positive pressure as the goulds is pulling from the bottom of the 2500 gallon cistern so there's a good bit of pressure from elevated water.
