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...
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.
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
