A - HOW TO PRIME A JET PUMP

  1. Remove priming plug.

  2. Prime system by filling pump and suction pipe with water.

  3. Replace priming plug loosely.

  4. Turn pump on and make sure pump is delivering water. If no water is pumped  within 15 seconds, turn pump off and re-prime.

  5. After pump is primed, tighten priming plug.

 IMPORTANT: The pump housing and piping MUST BE MANUALLY PRIMED (filled with water) the first time, before running the motor, or damage will result that WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

NOTE: On existing deep wells, make sure proper ejector is being used. If ejector does not match pump, the pump may not build pressure and may not prime properly.
