Also, what is a cycle stop valve?

Constant Pressure Valve (or CPV), Cycle Stop Valve (or CSV), are the names most commonly used to describe a valve that mechanically controls the output flow from a pump to match the usage. The CSV is installed before the pressure tank and switch, and is usually adjusted to the middle of the pressure switch setting.

How do you install a cycle stop valve?

The CSV1A is adjusted by turning the adjustment stem clockwise to increase downstream pressure and counter clockwise to decrease downstream pressure. Adjust the CSV1A until the pressure steadies at your desired working pressure. Tighten the lock nut. The valve is set.

The CSV3R should be installed on the pump side of the pressure tank/pressure switch with all water outlets downstream of the valve. Flow direction is indicated with the arrow on the side of the valve. Note: There cannot be any water outlets between the pump and the valve.
