Priming the water pump Empty Priming the water pump

Hi, Does anyone have a handy tip for priming the pump to get water out of the sink tap? It works intermittently on our T4 Trident and its impossible to get at any feeds so I have to simply pour water back down the tap. This works occasionally.

You will have a Shurflo pump which shouldn't need priming. It doesn't harm a Shurflo for it to run dry so maybe just be patient and let it run until it forces air out of the pipes. One possible tip could be to open your taps before you fill which will help push the air through. Or put a hose over tap spout and suck.
