Hello,
I recently installed a CSV per the instructions along with a 4.5 gal pressure tank as per the recommendation. The CSV is set to 70 PSI at the factory, but it acts as if it is not even there. Cut in/out for the pump is set to 53/73.
- the pump fills the tank in about 15 seconds. From what I understand, it should take about a minute to replenish that ~1 gallon-ish capacity of the 4.5 gallon tank.
- the pump fills and drains the well pressure tank over and over. If I open more faucets in the house to drain about 5 gallons per minute, then the pressure hovers around 60 PSI. I never saw the pressure steady at around 70 regardless of what I did.
I really wanted it to work as advertised to solve pressure problems in the house.
I don't know the make/horsepower of the pump in the well, but it gave me around 7 gallons a minute with a bucket test.
