My pump is not working. The logo on the storage tank is WELL X TROL. I have read about priming the pump but I can't figure out how to do that on my system. Please Help.

If your pump is above ground, then priming is simple. Look at the top of the pump casing. You will see a plug or a pressure gauge. Remove it, pour in water until it overflows, replace it, and turn the pump on.

If it's a submersible pump, then you don't prime it.
