I understand the principle of reducing pump cycles to extend pump life and ultimately save money. CSV also says they reduce pump current draw when throttled back to the 1 GPM rate on common household systems.
My question is filling up a 10 gal. pressure tank will take 1 minute if a well produces 10 GPM out of a say 1" line. With the CSV, it will take 10 minutes. So we can either pull 10 amps for 1 minute or 6 amps for 10 minutes with the CSV. (Just purely guessing how much current a sub pump pulls.) Isn't this actually increasing electricity usage?
Of course this depends on how you use water, GPM, over a long period of time.
I guess I'm just not 100% sold on the idea. Also, I figured I would see some installed around here but never have. Are they a relatively new product?
