Neighbor lost his prime, so I hooked up a doner hose. Took FOREVER to fill.
Want to calculate how many gallons were needed. Its 60-70 feet deep, and I have to fill both pipes?
What's the optimum way to get the air out? Once I figured it was full, I valved off the intake (doner hose & upper house) and ran the pump a little, then cracked the bleed valve on top (plastic globe valve) to get bubbles (not spurting water) until it seemed to stop. Repeat...
