I have a CSV1 60lb Cycle Stop valve installed in the drop pipe of my 40 foot shallow well with a 1 hp, 18 gpm submersible. It worked fine for six months or so and then I noticed it gradually required greater flow (above the preset 1 GPM) to keep the pump from cycling. It is now to the point where even when my open loop geothermal unit is calling for a continuous 7 GPM, the pump will cycle - on for seven or eight minutes, off for about two as the tank drains.
Do these things wear out? Do I need to pull the pump and clean it maybe? I am kind of at a loss here as it has only been installed for a a year or so now. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
