Hi, I have a 14' (approximate) deep sand point well with a pitcher pump that pumps nicely. I wanted to also use a DC pump but it's not working. I think I have the plumbing correct but perhaps the HF (290 GPH DC0 pump isn't powerful enough? The picture below does not show the additional valve I installed just below the pump. The check valve is facing the correct way and I believe it's airtight. I also shortened the hose between the well and the pump to about a foot. I prime using the picture pump, shut the valve, then turn on the DC pump but I don't get water. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
