5. If pump is correctly primed, pressure will quickly
build and register on the gauge mounted 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 body before
the pump will prime. The pump body may need
to be filled several times in order to achieve the
prime.
6. With pump operating at high pressure, open two
or more faucets and slowly unscrew the flow
control screw until maximum flow is obtained.
The pressure gauge should read 46 PSI, which
is the minimum operating pressure of the pump.
IMPORTANT: If the pump fails to prime within
five minutes:
Turn power off at the breaker box and check all pipe
connections for leaks. All connections must be water
and air tight in order for pump to operate.
All piping from the well to the pump should slope
slightly upward with no sagging. Support suction
pipe between water source and pump. Unions in
the suction line near the pump and well will aid in
servicing. Be sure to leave enough room so that
wrenches can be used easily.
NOTE: Look for leaks or a milky color in the
discharged water, which indicates an air leak.
Re-prime if necessary, following steps 1 through
6 above. Reset breaker at the breaker box. All
connections must be water and air tight in order for
pump to operate.
