Electrical / Preparing To Start The Pump 7

4. Connect the power supply wires to the pressure

switch as shown in Figure 7.

You have just completed the wiring for your pump.

PRIMING

Never run pump dry. Running pump with-

out 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. 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.

2. Replace all fill plugs (use teflon tape).

3. Power on! Start the pump. If you don’t 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’ may take

as long as 15 minutes to prime.

4. 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.

Congratulations on a successful installation.
