Also I might add that the water doesn't drain out of the pump just a little after I try priming it open it and water barely down

Lol don't do this, just prime your pump properly. If your jet foot or leathers are leaking it might need to be replaced. Pull the whole gauge out with the side plug on pump to fill with water all the way to top. When full plug off and turn pump on should build pressure instantly unless something else is wrong.

Thanks for your input that was not my experience, it’s still has prime 3 years later but good to know if this method doesn’t work

Also I did pull the gauge and fill with water and then put it back on and spend several hours repeatedly doing this and didn’t work for me. We fill car radiators a similar process so I thought I would attempt it on a well and it worked and hasn’t lost prime for at least 4 years

Can't see the full well pump to see what you were trying to do; would be nice to actually see you do it the way you stated. Doesn't show us anything.

That’s my whole well pump you may have a different style, but on mine you unscrew the gauge where it shows to. you may may watch it again and turn the sound up I explain what to do in the video, after your done just turn the well back on

If you take off the gauge the”straw” won’t seem to make a tight seal to a 1/2” treaded hole. That part I didn’t understand. I have a deep well and I have to keep priming it (still in troubleshooting mode). I just fill it with a small bucket until the water fills up to the gauge threads and no bubbles come out.

If you wrap tape around the straw you can make it fit any size hole to make a perfect fit

@@charliemccord1452 Found my problem. The people who drilled my well set the footvalve too close to the bottom. Sand and rocks settled and I was sucking sand and losing a functioning check valve. A new and better crew removed 3 feet of sand and small rocks and shortened my footvalve. Problem fixed.

So with well water/... I want to replace worn washers at spigot. Do I unplug my pump and empty system to make repair. Then turn back on and let water come up an refill system. Do I need to prime? Thanks Leaking in Charlotte

I would look for a shut off near the pump most systems should have them just turn it off and you wont need to prime, and if not if the spigot is at a higher location than the well you wont need to either other than that you may have to if the pump loses its prime

Have you ever had any trouble with the pump being mounted on the pvc? Does the pipe support the pump ok? Thanks

Not in my experience the air goes to the top and with this method you are forcing the air out of the hidden places
