It's funny, I only watched the first part of your video before the winter to winterize my pump. Now that I wanted to use the pump again, no water was coming out. So after some googling I ended up back at your video which started automatically at the priming part from where I left off last time! We're also right down the road in Gulf Breeze! Thanks for your video! Oh and indeed, you should just prime / fill it before turning the pump on.

What do you do? If that black pin isn't setting it's loose

uncle skipp

you are ba mf man, thank you, this was exactly what I was hoping to find

What brand of pump is this? Mine is similar but much older

Thank you for sharing this tip. I was about to try gluing on a half of 3/4" coupling and not convinced that it would work. Your tip works much better and saved me the cost of a slide repair coupling.👍

Thank you, and KZfaq, for helping me stay a strong independent woman who doesn’t need a man 😂 I will say I couldn’t get mine to go holding the hose to it so I used a female coupler to attach the hose to the spigot and turned the hose on then started the system… it took a little bit and then the sprinklers came on and dang it I gotta admit I felt pretty proud of myself 😊🎉🙌👏 thank you for this beautiful quick insight into how it works so I could accomplish this. You made the world a better place for me at least and I’m super grateful ❤ now I’m going to go do my mom and grandma’s sprinkler for them 💪

What a great video hopefully this will see some movement this spring!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to explain this.

I’d like to buy/make a cover for the pump that can be kept on year round in case I’m not here when we get a freeze. Any recommendations? Hi from Florosa.

This really helped me today. Thanks for creating and posting!!

Hey brother I am just get my power back after 4 days .I don't have a hose with running water can I do it with a hose and funnel and a 5 gallon jug of water ?

Thanks for this tip! Can't wait to fix up my lawn! :)

NEVER use a chain saw on your palm , use a saws all or hand saw! Don't cut above a 9 to 3 . A chainsaw is hard to control, if you cut to deep it can open the palm to trunk rot!!! Emerald Coast Bamboo and Palm trees does an AMAZING job at palm care!!!

Thanks!

great idea ! i tried this , didn't work

Great idea ! Thanks boss

You might want to not have your microphone so close or so sensitive cuz I missed everything you said cuz all i could hear was heavy breathing (super annoying) just my experience watching your video .Figure you would want & could use the honesty. ;) the honesty

What's the top plug for? Can I pump auqa-grease in there to quiet it. It's making a lot of noise, to the point where my neighbors are complaining about it. I tried putting grease in where it spins, it just throws it off, but the top plug. Can I pump it in there? It's gonna cease soon, I can hear it.

Good video

That’s just way too many green, healthy leaves that you cut off unnecessarily, and is not considered good practice.

Please do not apply fertilizer this way. You do this professionally and think that’s the way to apply fertilizer?!

Thought you were never suppose to cut anything but dead, dying or yellowing fronds of a jelly palm

Pro tip: Get 1 minute of good content. Skip to 2:15 Set playback speed to 2

I was wondering what type of grass sod you are using. I am using Fescue and seeing you are in the South maybe you might be using Bermuda which I suspect fills in better than Fescue.

Last 6 minutes or so ?????????

Speak up sheesh

sorry thats not the pineapple trim look

Very clear. Thanks! I had fixed a broken sprinkler head and had wanted to cycle through the zones. Your concise explanation on how to do that solved that frustration.

Great video, this is exactly what I needed to know about sprinkler pumps from wells.

i love youtube lol, thanks for doing this video as I will be on this fix this week, random feed too lol must be listening in,,,,, anyway perfect vid thanks again

En qué corriente se usa en 110 o 220.?

Keep making these videos.

I'd love to take some leaves from my 10 yr old pindo fronds that are touching the fence. But I am quite concerned about stressing the tree by taking away foods from the tree. They are all nice and green with no single brown spot. I trimmed 2 or 3 at the max and tried to compensate the nutrients with magnesium and potassium.

You are always very informative..Thank you

I followed your instructions & it worked great! Never primed a lawn pump before so this was an EXCELLANT tutorial.

Do you know why my pvc lines keep popping off place it’s like the 10 time that happens ?? Or do I need. To try different glue

Love the video! I was wondering if you could help with a different question. I have one of these Irri-Gator pumps, looks just like yours. Mine doesn't come on at all. I traced the 110V signal into the pump from the timer, and through each component and through the capacitor. So the signal is getting into the pump but it does not energize. Any suggestions?

My question is can I leave the pump outside all winter after I drain it and remove the inlet. I don’t wat to bring the pump inside every winter.

I live right down to road from yall in Navarre and I just want to express my deepest gratitude for this video, every year I forget how to winterize my sprinkler system and every year this video saves the day. Ill be back in march to see how to reprime it lol

Good vid

Somebody is just a little too excited...lol 😂🤣

As several other have commented, I thought running a pump without it being primed was a no no. I actually had to replace my last pump because I didn’t use it for a while and it seized up.

my pump primed, but turned off after 3 seconds. FYI: my timer is not set. is that the problem? haven't set the timer because I can't figure out how to set it. it's a very old timer. if that is the problem, please let me know and I will have a new timer installed.

Great video. I assume it's the same concept drawing from the lake?

Don't you have to use the purple liquid first, and then the sticky white liquid?

Roberto

Thanks for this awesome video

good way to ruin pump seal. never run a pump dry.

Great video! I had no water coming out but the pump motor was running. I went to prime the pump just like you showed and quickly learned that my pump had a big crack in it. Water was flowing out of the crack. I knew immediately because i had just watched your video and you showed the welded crack in your pump. Now I know I need to winterize this pump, even down here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We did have a colder than usual winter. Hard lesson learned. Hopefully I can get my pump welded too. Do you know if the pump portion of the unit can be replaced, without replacing the entire pump/motor?
