Hi Guys,
I have a shallow well pump (not a jet) which has a plug on it where you prime it. Does anyone know, assuming there is no check-valve in the suction line, if when you remove the priming plug it introduces air into the system allowing water in the well to drain back down?
I'm not sure how these pumps are constructed internally. Trying to figure out if I lose everything I gain every time I open that plug to prime it again. Is that plug supposed to be left loose to bleed air when you're priming?
