Priming
WARNING: Never run the pump against a closed
discharge. To do so can boil water inside the pump, causing
hazardous pressure in the unit, risk of explosion and
possibly scalding persons handling the pump.
CAUTION: Never run the pump dry. Running the pump
without water may cause the pump to overheat, damaging
the seal and possibly causing burns to persons handling
the pump. Fill the pump with water before starting.
□ Remove the priming plug from the priming tee and ll 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 ll the suction piping.
□ Replace all ll plugs (use Teon tape).
□ Power on! Start the pump. If you do not have water in 2 minutes, stop the pump and remove the ll plugs. Rell 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 ft. may take as
long as 15 minutes to prime.
□ 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.
Fill Pump and Piping
through Priming Tee.
Congratulations on a successful installation.
