What is the best way to prime this pump before using? Is there a built in check valve on the inlet side?

Answer
Read our How-To guide on Priming a Well Pump. Otherwise, all installation instructions including priming are available in the Product Manual. You would need to install a foot or check valve on the suction side in order to keep the pump primed.

What size tank do I need with this pump?

Answer
Tanks for shallow or deep well applications are typically sized based on a minimum 3 times your GPM requirements. So for example, if you NEED 12GPM, you should have a minimum 36 gallon pressure tank.

As all well pumps and wells can vary, it's best to consult with a local certified installer. You might also refer to this pump's INSTALLATION MANUAL for further assistance.
