1. Open the faucet of control valve as far as possible. 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).

1. Open the pressure regulator control valve as far as
possible. 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 plugs.
3. Turn electric power on.
4. Start the pump and watch the pressure gauge. The
pressure should build rapidly to 50 PSI as the pump
primes.
5. Open several faucets in the residence to permit water
flow and to release trapped air. After 2 or 3 minutes, the
gauge should show pressure. If not, stop the pump,

shuts it 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. If your jet
has a 30/50 pressure switch, the pump should start
when the pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pres-
sure 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.

Continue closing the valve until you see the pressure

flutter, slowly open the valve just enough to stop the
flutter. Your pump is now operating at peak efficiency.
