If you have air in the lines open up the topmost faucet to bleed it out. But that doesn't sound like the case with yout toilets. Shut the water off at the tank and open up the ball cock. Now turn the water back on to flush out the supply. Let me know if there's a full stream coming out of the open ballcock. Regards, Tom
Hey Tom, I sent my response via you Email. Just getting the hang of this thing. Do I need to put my response here instead? Joey
******88Hi, I shut off power, primed pump, got good pressure to upper floor faucets, but
My toilet still trickling. I unhooked ball cock and tried to flush water
Through all of the open areas as we have some debris that comes after priming
The pump. There is good pressure to the toilet line but just not through the
Toilet flushing unit. Was it a coincidence that it stopped worked properly
After the shut down? It seems strange to me. It had been working fine before
This time. Thanks Joey********
What's happened is that when the pump was down you flushed both toilets and when you primed the pump both toilets made a draw and sucked up crud from the pipes and now they're blocked. Either clear the ballcocks or replace them. Good luck, Toim
