Pump Storage and Priming Tips
 Flush the pump case with clean fresh water, then completely drain to prevent damage from freezing | | Cover intake and discharge ports to prevent the entry of debris during storage |
| Self Priming |
Place the pump as close to the water source as possible. The less lift required will improve priming time
Fill the pump case completely with water (Never operate a centrifugal pump without water in the pump casing)
Start the pump engine.
By partially restricting the discharge hose, priming time can be improved
Shutting off a pump will allow water to flow out of the suction hose, requiring priming.
The use of a foot valve on the end of the suction hose will prevent water from flowing out of the suction hose if you stop the pump and reduce time required for the pump to regain its prime.
Wear off the volute and Impeller can decrease pump performance and increase time required to prime the pump. Regular inspection and maintenance of your pump will maintain peak performance
