I have a small house. Just 2 of us living here. What size water well pressure tank should I get? I hear that the tanks listed gallon size holds about half that in water (the rest air)?
My guess would be the bladder longevity, but I like it when valveman answers.Why do you run 40/60 pressure switches ?
Why not 60/80 ?
Cycle stop valves restrict the outlet to match flow rate, that’s how it stops the pump from cyclingIt takes more energy to pump water through a half inch hole than it does a 1" hole no matter where you choke it. Whether it's at the faucet or at the valve. No matter the pump.
I'll let him answer. But I think not.
If the valve is restricted more than the outlet it could be.
But all this is doing is not letting the pump catch up as quickly as it would without restriction.
This is so exciting, lol.
I guess my thought is if your water is coming through a faucet its restricted. So restricting it at the beginning doesn't matter. Especially since right after the csv it would open up to a larger pipe negating the normal friction loss of actually having a smaller pipe, but keeping the flow rate lower.
That's my thought anyway.
I think the answer is yes after the usage is done. During usage no.
That was what I was thinking the other day, but amount of water lifted is less, so I think it's matched. Volume and amperage I think are pretty correlated here. I'm not an expert, but this is how I see it when it's pictured in my imagination.
Fun to think about.
