After going through the required plumbing repairs (replace kitchen sink and tub faucets, etc.) using city water pressure, I'm finally ready to test the water pump. I filled the tank, made sure the valves were open to eliminate air pockets, and turned on the pump. It made noise and vibrated (which I kind of expected) but didn't create any pressure. A small amount of water came out of the exterior shower, but I think it might be because of water left in the lines from the city water.
In the compartment where the water tank and pump live, there are 3 valves. I've figured out that one of them drains the water from the lines and another drains the tank. The third one is near the water pump and is connected to a clear flexible tube with a cap on the end. Is that used to prime the pump? If not, what's it for? Is there something else I'm missing?
