Turning on pumps for first time.

[GrowBro]

So I fill up my UC and turn on my pump and it just keeps trying to pick up the flow and it can't. How do I get the initial flow to start going. ALl your help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Got air in the system, gotta prime the pumps to get the flow kickin

Make sure the filter housing is tightened as well as the cap on top. If it is loose air will get in and the pump will lag.

Did U figure it out? If not, take the hose off of the inlet side of the pump and wait until the water starts running out. Hook it back up and the pump should be primed. If that dosen't work take the hose off of the outlet side and do the same.

Pretend the output hose of the pump is a straw, get water through it then turn it on.
