    Pressure Tank Size

    Yeah, it is what it is. I did some playing around yesterday with the 50gpm pump. I am able to fill my cistern and the stock tank at the same time. Since it is plumbed with a 'T'...some water goes to the pond and some to my cistern. I can adjust flow to either with the ball valves. Really...

    Pressure Tank Size

    It's no hassle. It's powered. It's plumbed. We fill up the tank and literally flip a switch. That's why we aren't changing it. We have a 1HP 10GPM pump....but I'm being advised to pull that and change it to a 1HP, 33GPM Hallmark for about 150 bucks?? This makes zero sense to me. Anyway...

    Pressure Tank Size

    I understand. Unfortunately, there were some unforseen issues with this project that blew the budget here. A new well pump is simply not going to happen when we have a perfectly functional pump in it now.

    Pressure Tank Size

    Any way to do this with ONE CSV? Just not enough money leftover in this project after water filtration requirements to do it otherwise. I may have to just use it as is for a while. This pump/motor pumps water from 20 feet in the ground up to ground level and then about 100' in 1.25" PVC to...

    Pressure Tank Size

    Simple. Because the pump listed is not what I have. LOL. The pump is what was taken out of the well that now has a 50gpm. This was installed by the driller once he understood what we wanted to accomplish. It's PVC down to the pump and we have float switches like in your post. Its easy to...

    Pressure Tank Size

    Hey, since my small 1.5HP submersible (No idea what actual size) is in 20' of water and pumping back to the pressure tank in 1" SCH40 PVC, why am I not worried about blowing up the PVC pipe in that one like the concern before with the 50gpm?

    Pressure Tank Size

    OK. Looks like the cheapest option here (which is not cheap) is to seal up our cistern and utilize that. We will fill the cistern at 50GPM. It holds about 7,500 gallons and contains a submersible well pump and float switches. Sealing is expensive, but its half the cost of a poly tank that...

    Pressure Tank Size

    OK. This is where we are headed it looks like. I can't believe the well guy wouldn't have mentioned that we can't use this on a pressure tank at 40/60. So....here we are. WHat CSV do I need for the 1 or 1.5HP pump that is in my cistern pumping back to my pressure tank? The pump is sitting...

    Pressure Tank Size

    I don't need 50GPM at 50PSI. The 50GPM will be accomplished the same way it is now...just open the valve on the tee to the pond. Forget the pond. Im only interested in the CSV for the residential supply to the home.

    Pressure Tank Size

    Based on my well log for this well, the fluid level is at 222'. Pump is set at 360'. So....where does this leave us?

    Pressure Tank Size

    OK, folks. This is the moment we have all been waiting for. Well, for me anyway. I spoke to the company that installed my pump and got all of the info for it. Interestingly they have not only heard of Cycle Stop Valves, they "install them all the time". This is great because I really love...

    Pressure Tank Size

    I am going to get you guys the model number of the pump installed and the depth at which is it sitting and the water level. I have all of this information if I can dig it up. We need to really pin down specifics now. Thanks everyone.

    Softener Recomendations

    My capacity was loosely calculated... 20 grains of hardness (estimated from city water since we pull from the same aquifer, I need to test my well water shortly) 6 people, estimating 70 gallons a day (just found this online) That got me to 48,000 grains with 5.7 between regen. I might need...

    Softener Recomendations

    I am serving a home that has 4 adults and 2 children. At my old house, I had a Fleck 9000 dual tank system, It was 10 years old, I rebuilt the valves once due to leaking, but otherwise, it gave me no trouble whatsoever. I didn't realize how pricey those system are. Anyway, Im now looking at...

    Pressure Tank Size

    So CSV is made in Texas. Who are some companies in the region that are installing these devices? "Water well guys" are nearly as prevalent as roofers and real estate agents. Surely there are more than just a few in this state that support and install these. Where can I find a list of...

    Pressure Tank Size

    This all makes sense to me. I am trying to relay this information. I am now getting hung up on the back pressure argument. This device introduce his back pressure on the pump. They do not like that. I do not know how to Explain how and why back pressure on a pump is OK for it.

    Pressure Tank Size

    i have no doubt that we will be purchasing a device. I just don’t know how many pumps we will go through before they agree with what I believe to be a real solution...a better way.
