    CSV considerations for my old system

    TLDR: I am interested in installing a CSV, and this has prompted me to take a closer look at my system. Apparently, I will need to increase my pressure setting to use a CSV; this I have concerns about, not knowing the possible consequences. Any insights are welcome. The components are old, but...

    CSV Experiences

    Hi folks, Looking for feedback from homeowners or DIY folks who have used a CSV Vs. the traditional pressure tank/pressure switch. Are you happy with it, or sorry you went down this road? Its not the solution that most well guys sell, but much more affordable. I have another thread going with...

    Short-cycling pump: optimum strategy for particular system

    Hello all, It seems I've been reading a lot on this forum lately, so many thanks already! I'm trying to address a submersible well pump that is short-cycling (58sec on, 28sec off, @9-10.5GPM). I would like to solve the short-cycling in a manner that minimizes the long-term average operating...

    Shallow well low volume and CSV valve question

    Hello, First post here. My in-laws have had a shallow well in the same witched stream for about 40 years. it's a low producer, but has worked. We put one in and it worked for 10 years, but then we had problems. We now pounded a new 1 1/4" shallow well about 18 feet down. We can get good...

    Gundfos SQE overload. Converted to CSV and still problems. Replacement pump?

    I have had the Grundfos CU301 and 10SQE05-160 (10gpm 1/2hp 160' of head) in a 24" 40' bored well with 12gpm flow for 5 years with no issues until a month ago. Issues started one night where the CU301 indicated overload, I believe this happens in pumps built in electronics/VFD when the pump...

    Looking at a lot with a 1004' well at 3 gpm

    The well was drilled back in 2004 and has never been used. The static water level is 19'. The well log says the hole is 6 3/4" with a 5" PVC casing going all the way down to 1004' and a 8 5/8" steel casing going down the first 20'. I plan on building a pretty big home but with very minimal...

    Help with Pump system (CSV, VFD, other) for new irrigation well

    I recently had a well drilled. We went 760' with only 1 GPM. I hydrofractured the well and the flow went up to 16 GPM. At 140' he was pumping 16GPM and the water level remained flat. The static water level is about 30'. My irrigation system was designed on city water at 14 GPM and 60psi...

    Will a CSV work for me?

    I am in SE Michigan. I have a well guy I trust and I need to replace my pressure tank (failed bladder) and I want to remove the canister "whole house rust filter" (a pain to swap out cartridges each month) and replace with a Iron Filter that self backwashes. As I am making changes, I...

    What constitutes a "properly installed CSV"?

    Forgive me if this question is unclear due to poor terminology. I'm new to pumps but am under the gun to get a new system installed. We currently have a Red Jacket "Submerga" 3 HP single phase pump sitting at 545 ft in a 560 ft well. It was installed in 1977 using a traditional installation...

    New well owner with some questions

    Hi everyone. I just bought a house with well water and I've never been on a well before and I have a couple of questions. My well pump is a Sta-Rite SNE-L (http://www.sta-rite.com/ResidentialProduct_sr_ws_jt_SNC.aspx) with a 30/50 switch. I had a water contractor over to see if I could increase...

    Grundfos water pressure issue

    I have a grundfos sqe 1hp pump that was hooked to a CU301. I have just converted it to a PK1A cycle stop valve kit thinking maybe my controller was telling my pump to act the way it was. I have the same concern on both the CU301 and the CSV. My concern is that when you turn on water (lets say...

    Shallow well, CSV, water tank, drip irrigation

    I have a 25' shallow well with a 4" well casing. I have 12' of water in the spring and 6-7' of water in the casing by September. The well will only be used for drip irrigation for a residential home as we have city water to the house. We are about 250' from a year-round creek (slow trickle in...

    My deep well pump is over 27 years old now, should I replace it?

    I have a well that is around 300 ft. deep (I think). The submersible pump is over 27 years old now. It makes a loud clunk/bang when it starts. It has a 40 gallon pressure/bladder tank. Should I replace the pump now - before it fails? What is the expected life of a well pump. I am the original...

    CSV troubleshooting

    I've read many of the discussions on this subject from some years back, but haven't found the information I need. I have some type of flow regulator on my household system made by Jacuzzi [BRO8] that was installed in 1974, but I don't know if it's a CSV or VFD or XYZ. It is installed near the...

    Large capacity well (100gpm) and home use

    I will be putting a irrigation well in for my farm this coming spring. I'm hoping to achieve a flow rate of 100 GPM. We would also like to use this well for a future home. Can I use a CSV on the well for the mixed flow rates of my irrigation zones and then put a larger pressure tank in with...

    New well pump sizing

    Had the well drilled for our house under construction last week. The driller expected to go 300-400 ft and get 2-3 gpm in our area. We got lucky and hit a 5 ft thick cave/void at 40 ft that the driller thought was making 20-30 gpm. He wanted to go ahead and drill to 80 ft but when the drill...

    CSV or no CSV? Berkeley/Grundfos/Franklin?

    I'm pretty set on having the ol' type of the single phase electrical 1 1/2 hp pump down 325-350' on a 366' deep, 85 static, 105 casing, rock well thats 110' from my breaker box. Slight slant downward if any, so no uphill climb involved. Figure 10 gauge, thinking about 44 gal x-trol tank...

    CSV on Irrigation Well

    I have a 110' deep irrigation well with the pump set at approximately 100'. Records don't show where it's at, but the company that installed it thought it was around there. The static water level is 12' per the original well log. The well originally tested at 35gpm when originally drilled...
