1. Open the Pressure control valve completely
then 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. If you have also installed a
priming tee in the suction piping, remove the
plug from the tee and fill the suction piping. (Fig.
1) (Fig. 2)
2. Open the faucet closest to the pump/tank a small amount to allow air to escape the system.
3. Power on! Start the pump.
4.
If you don’t have water, 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.
Congratulations on a successful installation.
If you were unsuccessful, please refer to Troubleshooting or call our customer service technical staff.
Deep Well Application Only
CAUTION:
All pumps must be primed (filling the cavity with water) before they are first operated. This may take several
gallons of water, as the suction line will be filled in addition to the pump cavity.
1. Open the
Pressure control valve
anti- clockwise as
far as possible. (Fig. 1)
2.
Remove the 1/2” priming plug and priming tee plug. Fill
pump cavity and pipe with water until it is full .Replace
1/2in. priming plug and priming tee plug. (Fig. 2)
Notes:
Check to be sure water in pump cavity stays
constant. If water level goes down, it could indicate a leak
in the foot valve, check valve or suction pipe
3. Close
Pressure control valve
completely by turning
clockwise. Now start the pump.(Fig. 3)
4. If pump is properly primed, pressure will quickly build
and register on the gauge mounted directly on the
pump body. If pressure does not build, repeat priming
operation. All air must be vented from the drive and
suction pipes as well as the pump cavity before the
pump will prime. The pump cavity may need to be filled
several times in order to achieve the prime. (Fig.4)
