Is It Easy To Prime a Petrol Water Pump?

The answer to that question is a very loud and emphatic YES! But you'll have little success if you don't prime the pump that's for sure. As with most things in life; fail to prepare, prepare to fail! Here at ParkerBrand we'd never let that happen to you.

We've a full set up guide for you on a separate blog but this a quick break down of the key set up tips along with a useful film too.

IMPORTANT: HOSES

Ensure that you have purchased suitable hoses for the pump. They must be the same size fittings i.e. 3-inch hose to 3-inch pump fitting. Using reducers and the like places too much pressure on the pump and are not recommended for use.

INTAKE HOSE - Hard-walled or rigid intake pipes are essential for the optimum use of the pump. They are readily available in one, two and three-inch dimensions. Utilising these will will mean that the flow rate and therefore the overall performance will be perfect.

DELIVERY HOSE - Delivery hoses should be the lay flat type in two-inch and three-inch size.

SET UP TIPS FOR A PARKERBRAND PPWP-2000 and PPWP-3000 Water Pumps

• Ensure that both hoses are well fixed to the intake and discharge ports of the pump as directed in the manual.

• Make sure that both sets of hoses are well fixed with jubilee clips.

• Fit the basket filter into place as per the manual.

Seal all hose connection points with PTFE tape or saran wrap (cling film) in order to totally ensure that no air enters the system at all. If air is getting into the system it won't pump.

This reflects in the graphic below.
