against a 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 control valve and fill the pump (see Figure 14). Fill all pip-
ing 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.
2. Replace the fill plugs and the control valve completely (see Figure 15).
3. Power on! Start the pump and watch the pressure gauge. The

pressure should build rapidly to 40 PSI (Models (2805/6/10E) or 50 PSI
(Model 2815E), as the pump primes.
4. After 2 or 3 minutes, the gauge should show pressure. If not, stop the
pump, remove the fill plugs, reopen the control valve, and 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. Don't forget to close
the control valve each time before you start the pump.
5. When the pressure has built up and stabilized at about 40 PSI (Models
(2805/6/10E) or 50 PSI (Model 2815E), slowly open the control valve
(see Figure 14) and let the pressure drop until the pressure gauge needle
starts to flutter. When the needle flutters, close the valve just enough to
stop the flutter. Your pump is now operating at its most efficient point.
6. 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 the pressure until the pump starts. The
pump should start when the pressure drops to 20 PSI (Models
(2805/6/10E) or 30 PSI (Model 2815E) and stop when the pressure
reaches 40 PSI (Models (2805/6/10E) or 50 PSI (Model 2815E). Run the
pump through one or two complete cycles to verify the correct opera-
tion. This will also help clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged dur-
ing installation.
Congratulations on a successful installation.
