Hi. My electricity was cut off and the water went with it too. When the electricity came back on the water did not. People tell me I need to prime the pump... My pump is an Aqua Air v60 by aosmith. Can you tell me how to prime it?
There is a blue tank, two hoses, and a water heater in the shed. I can't figure out where I would add water if that is needed but I do see valves. Please help. Thank You, Lakehouse

You will need to locate the pump, assuming you have a jet pump which is above ground. Remove the plug from the top of the pump housing. Pour in water until it overflows, then replace the plug. Turn the breaker on, and you should be good to go.

Sometimes the plug that Jlisenbe referred to has beenm replaced with a gage. Remove it and fill the impeller housing until it runs over. Replace the plug/gage and start the pump. Note; If you can't fill the impeller housing all the way up check the check/foot valve to see if it's doing its job. Good luck, Tom
