Selwood Pump Will Not Prime
Please check for the following possible causes before contacting your Selwood
branch.
1. Is the strainer fully submerged in
the liquid and not blocked?
2. Is the drain cock under the pump
volute closed? If not, close valve?
Note: Use drain in cold weather to
ensure liquid in volute does not
freeze.
3. Ensure all ‘O’ rings on the suction
side of the pump are in place. If
they are damaged - replace. This
includes all suction hoses.
4. Ensure non-return valve seat is
clear of any debris. This can be
done by opening the inspection
plate.
