PREPARING TO START THE PUMP – SHALLOW WELL
PREPARING TO START THE PUMP
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.
NEVER RUN PUMP AGAINST 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.
Open the control valve as far as possible (see Figure 15).
Then 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. 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 all fill plugs. Leave the control valve open (in a
shallow well installation, the control valve always stays
open).
3.
Power on! Start the pump. The pump should pump water in
two or three minutes.
4.
If you don't have water after 2 or 3 minutes, stop the pump
and remove the fill 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. The control valve remains
open throughout this procedure.
5.
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 run- ning 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.
