I am thinking of adding a Stop Cycle Valve. I have: - 3hp submersable pump in a 325 foot deep well in porus rock. - 5 ton open loop pump and dump system - poor water quality - rust, iron, sulfer, etc. stinky and yellow. - 5 xtrol tanks Now, my well guy doesn't want to add a stop cycle valve as he thinks it either a) might become CLOGGED or b) the pressure builds up to 200lb or greater. Should he be concerned? Thanks for weighing in! (oh, my goal is to save electric and wear-n-tear on my pump)
hi and welcome, there is no easy answer for your querry. It is very job, well specific no generalities. do a search here for csv and you will get the info you want. The universal truth accepted here is that the only way to reduce electric costs is by reducing consumption. The csv will not do that, it only addresses cycling. A variable speed product will vary consumption based on usage, the best scenario for multi usages at differing pressure requirements. hope this helps Eric
