PRIMING

Never run pump dry. Running pump with- out water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.

Never run pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons handling pump.

1.Remove the priming plug from the priming tee and fill the pump. Fill all piping between the pump and the well and make sure that all piping in the well is full. If you have also installed a priming tee in the suction piping, remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction piping.

2.Replace all fill plugs (use teflon tape).

3.Power on! Start the pump. If you don’t have water in 2 minutes, stop the pump and remove the fill plugs. Refill the pump and piping. You may have to repeat this several times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping. A pump lifting water 25’ may take as long as 15 minutes to prime.

4.After the pump has built up pressure in the system and shut off, check the pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until the pump starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or two complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will also help clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.
