This process is called priming by opening the priming nut to get the air out of the pump. One of the best examples illustrated online. I can see where people are getting their household problems solved, this has now taught me the concept in a more practical manner for my engineering vivas!
Priming, yes! You pour water to create a air tight chamber between the pump and the water source. Basically that air tight chamber becomes a siphon. Appreciate you taking time to leave a nice comment.
Omg 😆. So I just got back home from vacation and the pump was tripping off because of no suction. I panicked because the pump was new. So I came across this video, screwed off the prime screw and filled it up then walla. 💦 for the household again. 🤗 thanks man. 👍🏾. Oh my fiancé came outside looking at me like I’m crazy because I was doing this at 2:30am. Thanks again my new found friend !
OMGosh!! We bought a gasoline pump (predator) at Harbor Freight. After multiple tries, it still wouldn't pump. My husband loaded it up, took it back. They said nope. So, after he called and told me that, I thought I'd troubleshoot it on the internet. I watched several videos and then came to this one. I'm so glad I did!! It worked like a charm! I put plumbers tape on the threads, then tightened the hose clamps, wrapped the pipe and fittings with foil, then we primed the pump the way you said! BOOM!! In about 10 seconds that thing was pumping so fast it took about 2 minutes to empty the ditch. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! We just knew we had wasted our money on that pump, but thanks to your video, we got it working!!
Wow! I am experiencing your excitement and relief vicariously through your narration. Thanks for the write up and appreciation! Internet is an amazing place, you can find solutions for almost everything. I'm glad you took the time to surf the net for solutions. 😀
Thank you for this Video - I moved to a new city - had never used a pump before and I used this video to remove an airlock! I hope it earns me some points with my wife who was pretty stressed about not having water in the house. 👍👍👍
Thank you, you just saved me hundreds of dollars, having someone come out & fix my pump. As I am not knowledgable in these things, I did not know why it would not pump, but had power. Bless you~
I've struggled for 4 hours to get my pump to work, and tried doing and googling everything possible until I found your video. Worked like a charm. Thank you! Note: You probably want to close the valve/screw you'd use to fill the pump with water to the brum before you start it up. Starting it up open just shot water everywhere. It is worth putting pump at slightly different angles when pouring the water in to make sure the water really gets everywhere.
Not sure how I have missed replying to your comment earlier, I usually respond as soon as I read them. Yes, if you don't put the plug back, and if the pump is powerful enough then you have created your personal fountain 😊 Angle of setup is very important. If you keep it horizontal like mine or with the inlet somewhat upwards you're fine. If the inlet points downwards then you've compromised the setup.
You saved us a ton of hassel having to take the pump back. My family thought it was broken. I went out and fixed it with your method. God bless you, sir. 😇
Thank you! Saved me tons of money. Have a Tellarini Pompe that I've been troubleshooting all day and was about 10 minutes away from hiring a technician. Different model from what's in your video but same concept.
Thanks to you we solved our water pump problem specially now we are under quarantine we cannot go outside nor we cannot let anyone in. This is a life saver! Thank you!!
THANK YOU! I've been racking my brain and the internet for days. I didn't see anything to "unscrew" (still haven't found it - not sure if mine actually has one) but I ran it and eventually (less than 20min) it started pumping water. This has happened twice in the past week. BTW I live on a boat and am guessing it's the original ac pump (1980). Your explanation of things really helped me understand how it works
This pump was bought in 1986. You're right, yours could be different from mine. Living in a boat sounds exciting! Never had the opportunity though. Reminds me of MacGyver's houseboat. I'm glad I could be of help, somewhat 😀
Actually what my problem was. Thanks! Helped a lot! I unplugged my pump for a day since my checkvalve went bad and was putting water back into the mainline and had to fix that 1st then the no water problem happened.
Zek Kei Having a check valve right before the inlet can greatly reduce the problem I showed here, lot of people don't use it though. You have a smart setup!
Owh, tq in advance, i just have this problem today.. tomorow will try this hope it fix my problem.. so sad because i am just buy and just using three time and the pump its not sucking any water..huhu
Hey man. My water pump worked good for sometime with this method. Now, if i have to start my water pump, i have to try this method everytime. Problem with that is water comes out with heavy pressure which is difficult to control and messes up the surrounding area. Could you please tell me why is this happening and can my motor just work normally without having to pour water into the hole everytime i start it to make it work
@@freakout4775 if you have to do this everytime, it means air is getting into the system (inlet pipe) maybe due to faulty set up or crack. So look for cracks or holes or loose connection in the pipe from the main line up to the pump. If water pressure in the mainline drops, then it might let air in. Some people install non returning valve in the inlet pipe to make sure pump always has some residue water for priming.
Assalamoelaikum my dear brother, Masha Allah your video is very good and your system of experiment is very very excellent but all people is not good English, so I request pls you make your video in hindi so many people follow thanks , pls think about this , Allah Hafiz
Walaikum as salaam brother Hassan. Thank you for your suggestion. I am from Bangladesh so I can speak only Bangla and English. I can speak Hindi, but not very good. ☺️
Yes, you pour water to create a air tight chamber between the pump and the water source. Basically that air tight chamber becomes a siphon. Glad to be of help ☺️.
Thanks this might be helpful in the problem I am facing right now in which my home is farther away from supply some people who withdraw water before reaching my home maybe I can use this method to overcome this problem.
Thanks so much for this; I'll try it out. I'm wondering what could be the problem when water disappears or seems to flow backwards. Basically, I have a water pump outside that's supposed to pump water to a separate (and higher placed) tank. The problem is that my storage water disappears, almost like it's flowing backwards or getting lost somewhere. The problem is, we're talking 500L of water disappearing every week! Where is it going???
There's a high probability that the water is flowing back, as you suspected. You need to install a check valve (non returning valve) to prevent this from happening.
Thank you, I am going nuts trying to use exactly the same setup you have, a hose, got a one way valve, crap load of fitting etc, etc and .... NOTHING come out. Will give this a last try before burning the darn thing. Semper Fi
@@blackscorpio9136 🙁 You can trying pouring more water than a mug. Also if there's any crack or hole in the inlet pipe then it would not work. Finally make sure there's water in the main line (inlet pipe).
Unfortunately, there's no permanent solution. You can try to install a non-returning valve on the inlet. Non-returning valve works good if you have good water pressure from mains supply. Otherwise it may not work as well as expected.
Any reason why you put foil around tubes? I ask because everyday my pump loses prime. Suction tube remains 1/2 full. Foot valve works. Pump runs after i prime it. But loses it after a day. Wondering if it’s an air issue. Thats why i ask about foil
You're right! Though I used thread seal tape to attach the pipes to the pump, I used foil tape on top to make it completely air tight. Air in the inlet usually is reason for the pump to fail, assuming everything else is working including your foot valve. I would recommended a visual check for any cracks or holes in the inlet (from the pump up to the mains supply) that may allow air to enter the system. FYI, I once had a setup where I needed to prime on a daily basis. The setup was flawless, however the water pressure from the mains supply used to fall regularly causing air flow into the system.
Thank you Maruful. You were a savior. I spent a lot of money get my pump repaired every time this happened. Thanks to you, I saved some money and dint get cheated again.

This video helped a lot. I lost my nerves already with this damn pump...
Were you able to sort it out?
Yes. I was ready to get rid of the pump. It was expensive years ago. It works now well if I put water in it like in this video every time. Easy...
From you frustration I thought that pump went out the window 😀 Good to know it's still going on.
Everyday you learn something new.. Worked like a charm.
Appreciate the acknowledgment 😀
