I've recently rebuilt my pump house. I get my water from a rural coop, but I have to boost it since the main is approximately 100' below my house. It consists of:
My question is: How does CSV function in the case that a faucet is left dripping in sub-zero temperatures? Will a small flow such as this keep the pump running indefinitely (and is that bad).
- 300 Gallon buried cistern (plastic), that provides a buffer in case the main pressure drops. The pump house sits approximately 50' above the main (50' below the house).
- 10 GPM Goulds submersible pump situated inside cistern.
- Cycle Stop Valve to keep pump from cycling.
- 14 Gallon bladder tank.
- 60 - 80 PSI pressure switch. CSV, bladder tank, and pressure switch set to switch off at 76 PSI (on at 56).
- Dry pump situation protected by Cycle Sensor.
