You might need an some extra pvc pipe to act as a prime pipe instead of using the bolt. Just a straight pipe with cut off valve on top connected to a T joint before it reaches the pump. Then just flood the top cut off valve pipe with water until you start building pressure.
Im about to lose my mind... ive got the same pump. ...minus the on off switch... (My Sweetie used to take care of the well... and he just recently passed away...🥺) It had a broken pipe... so once i repaired it... i thought i was home free...(Not so much) Im going to try this... since ive now been without water for 3 darn days...
I have one just like yours but with the switch in the on position it's not making any sound at all the only sign that it's getting power is the on/off switch lights up when I put it in the on position any advice on my problem
Worked like a charm. Thanks, dude!
Oh you're very welcome I rather make a video that can help somebody
I did these instructions and my gage is still not wanting to go up! How much water do I continue to put in?
I put a lot of water in mine I just keep on throwing it until something happens
You have to fill up the bladder and the silver reservoir. Bout a gallon and half
Thanks man!
Anytime
The water starts shooting out if i take of the prime bolt while its running
