We live on 10ac in the Sonoran Desert, 30mi SW of Phoenix.

Our existing DIY (other than drilling the well) water system is as follows:

700' 4" cased well, w/Pentek 5GPM submersible 2Hp 480V 3ph at 650' +Checkvalve.
1" galvanized downpipe.
Water is 1"piped uphill into a 5000 Gal storage tank by timeclock.

The rest is in a detached wellhouse:

Tank downhill 2" PVC is routed into 3hp 480V 3ph bronze commercial pump.
Square D pressure switch operating 3Ph Allen-Bradley contactor with correct heaters.
Storage tank elevation results in approx 11PSI at pressure pump inlet.
30gal bladder tank (new 3 months)
Flow into filter bank, 100u, 20u, 1u, then calcite tank raising Ph from 6.5 and carbon final. High sediment levels.
Line to house is 230 ft, with 15' elevation, pressure is 60 PSI, results in 50PSI indoors (we have Sloan Flushometer toilets that like that PSI).

I'd like to integrate CSV without too much "drill & blast" work. Please advise.

Thanks, Dennis

Cycle Stop Valves are sized to match the pump. Do you have a pump model number or GPM? No "drill and blast" needed. The CSV is just plumbed prior to the pressure tank/pressure switch.
