I recently installed a CSV1W and experiencing noise in my water system. Well is 440ft deep and have no idea what model pump. Was installed in the early 90's. Still run great. Pressure switch set at 40/60. Cycle Stop Valve set at 58 PSI.
When the water draw is greater than the pump (such as 3 faucets wide open) can handle at 58 PSI (running at 50 PSI) there is a very loud rattle noise coming from the CSV. When the CSV is completely engaged at 58 PSI ( 1 faucet open) there is another noise kind of like a faucet is half open, I would consider this noise to be somewhat normal but is louder than I would like.
I was able to up the pressure switch to 62 PSI and the CSV to 60 PSI and the noise subsided a bit.
The noises travel to the first floor (valve and tank in basement) so its somewhat annoying when you run the washer, a hose end sprinkler and take a shower.
I have been working with the folks over at Cycle Stop Valves. I sent them recordings and photos. This is the first they have heard of a problem like this. For them to troubleshoot any further I must remove and send to their facility for testing. I'd like to avoid that.
Any ideas? Tank pressure? Noise eliminator?
