I've installed a couple cycle stop valves in residential houses and really like them constant pressure That's a beautiful thing and they work great certainly not the volume you are working on

What do you think about my secret project? Since you been watching my videos for so long I want to share it with you. Take care Don, Casey kzitem.infoX1CLPWUX1M8?si=YSp7lCsXXz3m7ape

Hey bud, we have 5hp subm pump 85GPM, 200ft deep well. Domyou think its better if I connect it direct to irrigation or use cycle valve and expansion tank? How does that cycle stop valve help from 85gpm cyclinc too much with such small tank? I don't think I want irrigation to pump so much volume but also want to split it in more, smaller zones. Thanks

Ultimately you're better off zoning to where you can run a smaller pump like a one horsepower 20 Gpm. Using a Cycle Stop on irrigation or for other purposes should only be when it's 50% utilized around 40 gallons per minute. You have to ensure that the back pressure does not get too high, otherwise you risk blowing the drop pipe or pump off. Having a small buffer tank when the load is correct and the pump is only on when using the whole irrigation system like for a nursery is ok. It's all about the cycling you don't want the pump to short cycle in any situation. Just let me know if you have any more questions, Thanks Casey

Seems like a lot of back pressure on the wet end, why not install a drive for constant pressure?

Those VFDs blow up after 1-2 years of constant use and require specific motors to match VFD. Once your locked into that system it's too expensive to get out. They are just too complicated, this system has been working fine since we rezoned his irrigation. The most back pressure is now around 70 on the smallest zones. His main problem was the irrigation contractor said he needed 60 Gpm to run the zones but didn't understand you can run a 10gpm zone like that. This is where the cycle stop was able to handle a variation of sprinkler zones from 20-55 Gpm. Had it been done over he would have had a 1-1/2 hp pump on a smaller cycle stop and 100% individual zones running as no one zone was over 20gpm. He could have saved 4000$ over having to have a 3hp submersible installed.

How do you go about adjusting it on setup?

Once a load is used over 5gpm like the faucet running you can set the shutdown pressure with the regulator. Turning the nut tight will increase the pressure, I set it to 55 psi to maintain from 5 to 60 Gpm roughly. Less than that and the pump fills up the tank and shuts off. The main purpose is to allow the larger pump to have a longer more stable cycle on less gpm load. The tank is just there to help balance the cycle and have about a 15 second runtime from on to off under no load. Under normal operating running irrigation it would be several minutes per zone of course. With the irrigation load use it runs from about 15 Gpm to 40 Gpm while holding 55 psi. Any more close to 60 Gpm and it will start to drop below 40 psi and sprinklers won't work correctly. Thanks for the comment and watching, Casey

How deep is the bore hole for 3hp submersible pump?
@ClearWaterPumpWell

Well depths vary and are not a rule for hp of pump. The wells output capacity is what allows a bigger pump. I'm not sure on this wells depth but we hung it 100 ft. It was 60 ft in the water table at 40 feet from below ground.

There is pretty good instructions on the valve manual, but it does take a little adjustment.

Well currently a 3 hp pump system cost is about 6,000$ installed, depending plus the cost of the cycle stop and tank another 2,000$.
