Frequently Asked Questions
Q. "How do I prime the 311 pump?"
A. As long as the 311 pump is not more than 7 feet above the liquid source, it doesn't need to be primed. However, for those instances when the liquid source may be further away (up to 15' maximum) we offer the following advice: An easy way to prime the pump (wet impeller), is by using a garden hose to fill the discharge hose; elevate the discharge hose slightly to retain water and start the pump. Another method would be to disconnect the discharge hose from the pump, bending the hose to make a "U" shape, and then filling the hose and reconnecting it to the pump (without losing the water). In both cases, the water behind the impeller will seal the pump and it will prime almost immediately.
Q. "It says that these pumps can drain water heaters. Do you offer any other pumps that will drain water heaters?"
A. Yes, view our light weight portable water heater drain pumps.
Q. "Can these pumps be used under water?"
A. No, these pumps are designed to be non-submersible. If you're looking for a pump that can be fully submerged, click here.
