Preparing to Start the Shallow Well Pump
Remove fill
plug and fill pump
and suction piping
through priming tee.
Figure 13 - Fill Pump through
Priming Tee
Risk of burns . Never run pump dry. Running pump without
water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing
burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.
Risk of burns . 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 pump and fill the pump, fill all
piping between the pump and the well, and make sure that all piping
in the well is full (see Figure 13). 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.
3. Power on! Start the pump. The pump should pump water in two or
three minutes.
4. If you don't have water after 2 or 3 minutes, stop the pump and remove
the fill plugs. Refill the pump and piping. You may have to repeat this
two or three times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping.
5. 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.
