Figure 16: Fill Pump through
Priming Tee
I_
CAUTION[
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.
[_,WARNING] N ever
run pump against dosed
discharge.
To do so can boil
water inside pump, causing
hazardous
pressure in unit, risk of explosion
and possibly
scalding
persons handling
pump.
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
piping
in the well is full (see Figure 16). if you have also installed
a
priming
tee in the suction
piping,
remove the plug from the tee and
fill the suction
piping.
Replace all fill plugs.
Step 2.
Step 3. Power on! Start the pump. The pump should
pump water
in two or
three minutes.
Step 4.
Step 5.
If you don't have water
after 2 or 3 minutes,
stop the pump and
remove the fiil 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.
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 the Troubleshooting
section or call
our customer
service technical
staff.
