Priming The Pump - Ace ACE5S 1/2 HP Manual Del Usuario

Installation
17. Cement as many sections and couplings of rigid 3/4" PVC
pipe needed to connect the 3/4" PVC adapter in the pressure
regulator to the 3/4" male adapter on the tank tee inlet. Set
pressure in the pre-charged pressure tank to 2 pounds less
than the cut-in pressure of the pump. If the cut in pressure
is 30 PSI, then the correct tank pre-charge is 28 PSI. If the
cut in pressure is 20 PSI, then the correct tank pre-charge is
18 PSI. Total installation should look like the drawing at right.
18. Open a faucet or two in the
house. Start motor. Turn
regulator adjustment screw
down tight. If pump is properly
primed, a high pressure will
immediately show on the
pressure gauge. With pump
operating at high pressure,
slowly unscrew regulator stem
until maximum water flow is
obtained without dropping
to 0 PSI. If pressure falls
completely, retighten stem and readjust. Steady pressure
must not be less than 24 PSI for the ACE5C and 32 PSI for
the ACE10C.
If pressure fails to build within five minutes: stop motor,
remove pressure regulator from pump, add more water, and
try again.
If you install your pump with a 2" single-pipe
("Packer") jet, please follow the installation
instructions included with the Packer jet kit (See
REPAIR PARTS KIT).
WARNING: Risk of explosion. If you change pressure
switch settings, set the cut-off pressure low enough
to shut off the pump. If a valve shuts off and the cut-
off setting is too high, the pump will run continuously
without water flow, causing overheating and possible
explosion which can cause serious burns and damage.

** Requires ejector (sold separately).

Priming the Pump

1. Open tank drain valve or a few faucets to relieve any water
pressure in system.
2. Remove pressure gauge plug from discharge tee OR remove
pressure regulator.
3. Put a garden hose into pump opening and fill pipes and pump
until water overflows from opening. This may take several
minutes.
4. After wrapping threads with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape
tape, replace pressure gauge plug OR pressure regulator in
pump housing.
