I have a Goulds JS05H 1/2 HP Jet Pump and a Wel-X-Trol WX-202 pressure tank.
I recently replaced my old 20/40 pressure switch with a 30/50 switch and upped the pressure tank to 28 psi. Since I did this, I've been getting a large amount of sediment in my filter. The pump and tank are pretty old, but seem to be working fine. The part of the tank where the T comes out, the metal is so rusted that I can peel it off. The pump now runs longer for each cycle, maybe a minute vs. half a minute. I'm wondering if the higher pressure is pumping this sediment from my well or could it be coming from my tank?
I'm thinking of installing a CSV1A, because I can hear the pump cycle about 3 times while I'm taking a shower. I'd love to install a CSV125- 40, but my pump and tank are in an enclosed crawlspace that's lined with plastic and I don't want something that will leak.
When I install the CSV, I'm going to move the pressure switch to it. Currently, the switch is on the pump. This hole for the pressure switch line should be 1/4" fpt, right? I'll need to plug it when I move the switch.
Thanks in advanced.
