Please, let's not turn these threads into CSV bashing. A CSV is certainly a viable solution to many problems and should be considered when ever the need arises.
That's because I didn't use a "?" for punctuation. What I said was "I would like a few examples of such a draw on a residential system.".I can't find a question in your post..

I see the CSV as a good product for a Oversize Pump or a Undersized Tank.
means nothing! Many experts test improperly. A CSV is an excellent and inexpensive addition to any private water system regardless of the pump and tank sizing. It will give the consumer a constant pressure (like when taking a shower) and will extend the live of all components in the system.Have exhaustively tested
So if You have a CSV, It should last for 100 Years ?
I need one of them. I must be getting old, I do not understand the problem with Old School.
Have a Great New Year Texas Wellman, and All.
Some people like Fords and some prefer Chevrolets and then there are those that don't know the difference! means nothing! Many experts test improperly.

We have a five-year written warranty on our complete kits. We know the kits are installed correctly. But we never have any warranties. I replace a few valves as a courtesy, which are packed full of sand or have frozen and busted, but rarely a pinhole or any real defect. Send me a 19 year old CSV with any kind of manufactured defect, and I will replace it at no charge. Standing behind our product is one thing we are not afraid to do.
Also, prove to me that a properly installed CSV caused the failure of any other part of the pump system, and I will take care of that as well. How is that for a warranty?
No, a real test would be (and was) a side by side comparison of the product under the exact same conditions. The testing that we did showed that although "pressure" does remain fairly constant with a CSV, under residential conditions (varied draw times and varied draw volumes) a properly sized pressure tank showed about 6% less pump cycles with run times averaging only slightly less than with a CSV installed. These draws ranged from 10 seconds to as long as 15 minutes. In both cases a long draw from a high volume source ( in our case a direct 5/8 line off the pressure tank ) caused the pump to run throughout the duration of the draw with no cycling of either system.
I have never seen any published data curves based on actual random use testing published for either your product nor the ****** CSV
As far as a CSV damaging the pump I think that would be highly unlikely as restricting output actually causes the pump to draw less amperage and operate at higher velocity which theoretically should not be a problem although several pump companies did initially refuse to warranty their products should a CSV be installed in the system. As far as I know though, those restrictions have been dropped.
This is awkward, but...
