280’ well pump depth. 110’ water level.
Red Lion RL12G15. 1.5HP, 12GPM
1” Poly pipe 200psi.
40/60 pressure switch. 20gal tank.
I put a gauge before the CSV to check back pressure. The CSV works as advertised, but my back pressure values are disturbing.
Open a hose, the pressure at tank (and CSV) drop to 40 and pump kicks on. Pressure at tank climbs to 53 (as set on the CSV) and holds, even if flow is increased/decreased. As expected.
But the back pressure before the CSV holds about 155psi while there is flow and climbs to 190psi after flow shut off and tank begins filling.
Pump shuts off at 60psi as it should. And back pressure drops to same as tank level (60psi).
Is my 200psi poly pipe going to take much of that? That is 190psi above ground. Much higher at the pump outlet, correct?
I appreciate any input here. Thanks.
