Hi. Looking for some input. Been reading a lot of similar threads but none that answered my questions. I think valveman could help me a lot if hes out there.
I just bought some equipment today to hook up my newly dug well. All my equipment...
Tank : Wellmate HP-26 - 120g, fiberglass, bladderless(air-over-water)
Pump : F&W Commander "S" - 1HP, 19GPM
Air Injection : Wellmate Micronizer
Pressure Regulation : CSV160
So the micronizer instructions say that the operating range for pressure is 10-60 PSI and the operating range for flow is 5-15GPM but dont I have to set my pressure switch cut-off to about 65PSI to get the CSV160 to operate properly, any problems with the micronizer being out of range at 65PSI? Will it damage the micronizer above 60 PSI or just not put water in? When the tank is drained down to say 45PSI and the pump kicks on will the micronizer put air in the water only until it reached 60PSI and is that enough air injection time for a 120G tank to prevent waterlogging?
The only way I could see the micronizer working in this scenario is if, and Im no hydrodynamicist so please correct me, when while the pump is running and the demand in the house is greater than 5GPM which is the minimum flow rate for the micronizer to work, pressure is held at 60PSI by the CSV160 which is the maximum pressure that the micronizer works at and then the bubbles(air injection) somehow go into the tank and not down the supply line to the house. I dont think this will work because during this operation the air bypasses the tank and goes straight to the faucets in the house. Is this not right? Then when demand in the house stops the CSV160 regulates the flow to fill the tank to 1GPM which isnt enough flow for the micronizer. So in theory the micornizer never injects air into the tank with a CSV.
If this is right then doesnt that leave no other scenario that allows a micronizer to work with a large capacity pump(>15GPM) and a CSV160? What equipment could I use that would allow me to utilize a CSV, a 19GPM pump and a micronizer? And yes, I read the section on CSV's website labeled "Micronizer and Standard Tank".
