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

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.

Answer
Thank you for your interest in Water Pumps Direct. Before I can answer your question, I would need to know the following:
Total head (suction & discharge lift)
Total pumping distance from the water source to the pump and from the pump to the furthest sprinkler head
Piping diameter on your suction and discharge (if already laid)
Total GPM & PSI requirements
Once you can provide this information, I'll be happy to assist you further.
