Subject: RE: Irrigation pump priming



East of Broken Bow
My neighbor does this.

Fills the tote the first time with a $200 Harbor Freight self=priming transfer pump, then has valves to refill via the irrigation pump.
They have their check valve about at water level, and just open the valve on the tote until the suction pipe and pump are full, then kick in the pump, and it goes.
Until they did that, it would take like 200+ pumps on the primer to get water through the pump.
