Purging air from the water pump - How to

OK, so I have a new pump, but now it is making a heck of a chatter, beyond the pumping noise. I assume it is air, so how do I purge the air from the filter/lines. It doesn't seem to go away just by running it, just keep chattering.

  • You need to tell us what make and model of pump you put in.
    Some just are VERY noisy......and how they are mounted makes a difference too.
    If the noise you hear is a loud growling sound within a second or two after turning OFF the water flow, that's probably normal. Most I've heard are fairly quiet when the water is actually flowing.
