    Real quick....I can help but I need to know since this posting is in automotive, do you have a vehicle whose water pump is inop or you have a water pump, say for plumbing purposes, that isn't working correctly?

1. Suction strainer with checkvalve must be always
under water.
2. Check the suction checkvalve if holds water. Water
must remain steady when primed.
3. Open the priming port, and fill it full with water.
4. Close the flow control valve.
5. Switch the power on and start the pump.
6. Then, slowly open the flow control valve, to the
level such that it will not break suction, and
stabilized the water flow..

Pump wont start on rivera spa. Just bought and filled with water pump wont prime dr code tried to looseen water flow connections still wont pump

Owner's manual? Is this a new pump? Is there power to the pump? Be careful water and electricity don't mix. It's likely the switches that are separated by low voltage relay controls are not connected properly or the low voltage power supply is not working to turn the pump on.

Flotec water pump U27-470. Motor no: S48H2EC11. I ran completely out of water and it wont pump. My tank is full off water noe but it wont syay on and wont pump. If I need to prime how do I do that? I dont...

Your owners manual from Flotec.

You may have an air lock. Disconnect the discharge pipe from the check valve and lift the pump out. Be sure you disconnect the 'bottom' or the check valve so it will still hold any water above it in the pipe. Lift the pump up out of the water and then settle it back into place and reconnect.

You may have damaged the unit by running it dry and lifting it out wont help there. You can try a repair shop but it is usually recommended you replace the whole pump.

The pump is probably clogged with a coin. Pull off the hoses and check the pump. Make sure you put a pan under the hoses to catch the water

Wont pump water

If it did not pump at all I would say you had a bad pump. Try removing hoses and check for plug up. If there is no plug up, I would manually try to adjust the timer to see where in the cycle it does not pump. It could be a bad cycle timer.
