We have an above ground water pump connected to an underground storage tank. We just had the tank filled, but there is no pressure in the pump. How do we re-prime to get it going again?

There is a small plug on top of the impeller housing. Remove it and fill the housing with water. Replace the plug and turn the pump on. Be advised that if the water won''t fill up and just runs out that you may have a faulty check valve. Good luck, Tom
