External pumps
Inline pumps can be used out of water. For
inline use, remove the cover to the intake. That
will expose the inline connection. Use one of
the threaded barbed fittings in the box for the
intake connection. Never allow the pump to run
dry. If the pump is at or below the water level
of the pond or fountain, gravity will allow the
intake line to remain full of water, that will
keep it primed. If the pump is above the water
level of the pond or fountain, you must use a
check valve at the end of the intake line that
lays in the water of the pond or fountain, to
keep the water from draining back into the pond
or fountain. This will keep your inline pump
primed. |

Priming made Simple!
| When there is no other choice
than to put the pump above the water level, the
unit must be "primed." This means that water
must be introduced into the pump and the lines
in order for the system to create a way for the
pump to get new water into it. There are many
ways this can be done however, this method is
very simple and will help make the priming
process less of a headache.
You will need:
Pump
Pipe
Check Valve (Foot valve)
Strainer basket (option but eases priming
troubles)
Hose
Water
The first thing that you are going to do is
install the foot valve on the end of the line in
the water. The foot valve allows the water to
only flow in one direction. There are different
types, spring, flapper and mechanical. Depending
on the power of the pump some of these may not
work. We recommend a flapper type because they
are easy to install and work with most pumps.
They can be purchased at your local garden
center (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.) and are fairly
inexpensive. Once the check valve and lines are
in place, the pump and basket need to be added
in the correct place. After the pump is in
place, install the rest of the pipe. At this
point the pond will be empty and all of the
plumbing will be in place. It is a good idea to
make sure that all of the joints are glued
tightly at this point so that there are no air
leaks. This will save time and extra work down
the road. Now take the hose and fill the pond so
that the suction point of the pipe is covered by
enough water to not allow a vortex to occur
(usually 8" or more). Take the hose out and put
t into the discharge line of the system. This
could be the point where the waterfall is or
maybe it is just a point that you have left open
in the discharge line. Let the water fill the
line (wait until water is coming back out of the
point where the hose has been inserted. Once
water is coming out, start the pump. The line
will be primed at this point unless there is air
trapped in the line. If the pump is running
correctly, fill the rest of the pond up. If it
is not repeat the steps above until it begins to
flow properly.
Some important things to keep in mind:
1. Inverted U's (a place where the line will go
up the wall of the pond, over the wall of the
pond, and then back down the side (looks like an
upside down U)) are bad ideas. Air is very
difficult to expel out of these points (unless a
bleed valve is installed) and ValuFlo pumps will
not pump if there is air in the intake line.
2. Try, try again. If the pump is spinning, it
is working. When there is nothing coming out but
the pump is spinning, there is a problem with
the system. Generally, it is on the intake side
of the pump and will be in the form of an air
leak or an obstruction. With the clear pump, it
will be noticeable as an air pocket right at the
center of the impeller. This means there is air
in the line. If that pocket is not present and
the pump is spinning, there is something
blocking the discharge line. |
