  Your FILL-RITE Water Pump may not prime due to several reasons: * A suction line problem: Check for leaks or restrictions; the line may be too small, too long, not airtight, or too low vertically. * Sticking vanes: Inspect for nicks, damage, obstructions, or wear and replace if needed. * Excessive wear: Look for wear on the rotor, vanes, rotor cover, or housing; replace worn parts. * Blockage: Check the pump, hose, nozzle, and filter/strainer for any blockages. * Vapor lock: Reduce the vertical and horizontal distance from the pump to the liquid. * Reversed power connections: Ensure that the power connections are correct.
