Priming an Above Ground Pump for an IG pool

May 9, 2013

Hello,

First post here.

I've recently taken over the operation of an outdoor, in-ground pool with 2 above ground pumps. These pumps are above the water level by a good 3 feet when the pool is full. I operated the pool a bit last summer, and when the pumps were already holding prime, they started back up relatively easily.

I'm starting up the pool for the summer this week, so I need to figure out the initial prime. Any tricks of the trade for priming this kind of situation?
