My first CSV installation went perfectly but this second install is not working right. The first was a brand new submersible setup but this second is a modification to an exsisting jet pump system.
This is a CSV 125-50. The pump cuts in at 40 and while the water is running the pressure guage stays at 40 psi (it does not go to 50). When the water is turned off the the pressure is increased untill the pump cuts out at 60.
There seems to be more vibration in the pipes than there should be and as the pump kicks in the guage dips to zero momenterily. Are these facts any indication of an issue?
Firstly is there anything that is obviously wrong? Are there any adjustments you'd reccommend?
I'm thinking I'll change that plastic line from the pressure switch to copper. Will that make a difference?
The CVS chat person instructed me to bypass the pressure switch on the pump and install one near the tank, but then they said that the line from switch on the pump to the front of the tank is ok (I was trying to save having to buy another Switch) . Is it ok?
Should the gauge be before the tank and the connection the the switch after? Should they both be before the tank?
