Setup

The BOMGIE 1.6HP Shallow Well Garden Pump is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Placement: Position the pump on a stable, level surface near your water source and desired discharge point. The pump is portable and equipped with a handle for easy carrying.
2. Inlet Connection: Connect the inlet hose to the pump's inlet port (1" NPT). Ensure a foot valve is installed at the end of the suction hose if drawing water from a well or tank to prevent backflow and maintain prime. Use the provided Teflon tape on threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal.
3. Outlet Connection: Connect the discharge hose to the pump's outlet port (1" NPT). Use the provided 3/4'' adapters and O-ring rubber seals if needed for your hose size, along with Teflon tape for secure connections.
4. Priming the Pump: Before the first use, or if the pump has run dry, it must be primed. Remove the prime plug (usually located on top of the pump head) and fill the pump head with clean water until it is full. Replace the prime plug securely.
