Question: How do I re-prime my feed pump?

Answer: To re-prime the feed pump-

1. Turn on water in house and leave running until the chemical feed pump turns on.

2. While the feed pump is running turn the knob on the prime valve (top of pump with 2 tubes sticking out of it) towards the open direction about a ¼-1/2 turn.

3. Solution should now be running through the secondary tube that is exiting the side of the prime valve and directed back into the solution tank.

4. Monitor the solution running through the tube for air bubbles. Let it run until the air bubbles have ceased (should take about 15-30 seconds).

5. Once the air bubbles have stopped then turn the knob on the prime toward the closed position (the original position).

6. The pump should be re-primed and you can turn off running water. Please confirm pumping by checking the solution level over the next couple days.

Feed pumps that continually lose prime indicate there is a blockage in the injection point/line. If this is the case please call for service. Service should be scheduled at least once a year to prevent this from happening. If you have any questions please feel free to call.
