Adjustments to a new tank should be...

Priming a jet pump is crucial for proper operation. Without first priming, the pump will not work properly. Priming is simply getting your pump ready to move water by making sure that the suction pipe and the casing of the pump are full of water. Running a pump that is not primed can cause serious damage to the pump. 1. Make sure that the electrical breaker is turned off. 2. Locate the priming location. Ideally, we would recommend a tee installed vertically coming out of the discharge at the...
