Priming - Everbilt AUTOJ100A2 Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

Priming

WARNING: Never run the pump against a closed discharge. To do so can boil water inside the pump, causing hazardous pressure in the unit,
risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons handling the pump.
CAUTION: Never run the pump dry. Running the pump without water may cause the pump to overheat, damaging the seal and possibly
causing burns to persons handling the pump.
Fill the pump with water before starting.
Remove the priming plug from the priming tee 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.
Replace all fill plugs (use teflon tape).

Power on! Start the pump. If you do not have water in 2 minutes, stop the pump and remove the fill plugs. Refill the pump and piping.

You may have to repeat this several times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping. A pump lifting water 25 ft. may take as
long as 15 minutes to prime.
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.
Winterizing the Pump
To prepare the pump for freezing temperatures:
Shut off power to the pump.

Relieve system pressure. Open a faucet and let it drain until water stops flowing.

Drain the pump. Your pump may have a separate drain plug. Remove this plug and let it drain.

Your pump may only have a plug or connection on the side of the pump. Remove this and let the pump drain. Some water will remain in
the pump. Leave the plug out until you are ready to re-prime.
Congratulations on a successful installation.
