Need some peace of mind - Pump cycling
Ok, I just need someone to hopefully put my mind at ease.
I just had a new well pump, piping, and tank installed and have a few questions.
The pump company installed a CSV with a 40-60PSI pressure switch and attached a 20 gallon Well-rite WR60 tank. They explained to me that it was the equiv. of a 42 gal galvanized tank and that since I had a CSV installed it would be plenty for my needs.
Question:
Is it normal for the pump to kick on every 1Min 30seconds during a shower? It only takes about 45 seconds to catch up and shut off again.
Does my CSV need to be adjusted?
When they installed it they were running the spigot attached to the well to show me that the CSV kept the pump running at about 55PSI until the spigot was closed.
I just need some peace of mind. I'm an electrical engineer and worry about electronic devices and "wear and tear".
Thank you for the information...
