priming tee.
Step 1. Remove the priming plug from the pump and fill the pump, fill all
piping between the pump and the well, and make sure that all pip-
ing 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.
Step 2. Replace all fill plugs.
Step 3. Power on! Start the pump. If you don't have water after 2 or 3 min-
utes, 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.
Step 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.
Congratulations on a successful installation.
