My Name is Dan with Northeast Electric(Licensed Electricians)-603-828-3479,once you have your pump,if you need someone for the hookup as far as the electrical end of it please feel free to give us a call.,a friend of mine had a problem getting water to his pump because he was sucking up sand from the bottom of the lake so he poured a small mooring block with an eyebolt on top wich he dropped i n the lake about 50 feet from shore wich allows him to tie the foot valve to it to keep it up off the bottom just enough while still getting it way out there,this has kept him from sucking up so much sand and seems to have solved his problem but that was another lake so im not sure what the rules are here but is worth checking out anyway.Good luck.Sincerly Dan G.-Northeast Electric-603-828-3479.

I had the same problem with my pump this year. I prime it both from the pump and from the foot valve side (about a 60 foot run). When I first turn it on the pump just turns and I get no pressure. So I open the pump and prime again. What I always forget to do is to "bleed" out the air. Just open the nut where you prime the pump just enough to let air escape and then shut it as soon as water comes out. Worked first time after doing this.
