Who makes the most accurate PSI gauge ?

[Valveman]

Hello MicEd69 thank you for the info. I was just reading about those CSV and I am really curious to learn more details in how they work. For me, it sounds too good to be true if in fact everything I have read about them is true? That would safe huge money to keep from having to buy those larger pressure tanks and save on the pump from not having to kick on and off as often.

I know, I know. Been selling the same Snake Oil for 32 years now. Lol! The CSV does sound too good to be true, but it is. It is so good it is called a "disruptive product" and has been banned from even mentioning by most pump and tank manufacturers. But 32 years now, give me a break. Every pump controlled by a CSV in the last 3 decades has lasted longer and performed better than it would or did with any other type of control. Cycle Stop Valves have been making pumps last longer and using smaller pressure tanks since 1993. Been making fools out of people who said it wouldn't work since then. I'll bet a lot of people said the same thing about automatic transmissions and other things over the years.

Without a Cycle Stop Valve, size of tank, air pressure in the tank and many other things are critical. With a Cycle Stop Valve, size of tank, air charge, and many other things are no longer critical. It is important the diaphragm in the tank not hit the bottom before the pump comes on. This is why I err on the low side with the air charge. Tire pressure gauge and water pressure gauge rarely read the same. So, with a 40/60 switch and the proper air charge would be 38 PSI, I will recommend 35 PSI air charge. It is much better to have a pound or two less than a pound more air than you need in the tank.

Thanks for the heads up MicEd.

I am speechless and cant wait to try it for myself! Greatly appreciated information once again. Thank you, Mike
