For ease of priming, should the inlet of the pump be pointed up, or down?
I have my inlet pointed down...so all air bubbles can rise up and out of the outlet. I also found that installing a dump valve just down stream from the outlet is very handy to burp the pump. I start the pump, let the liquid flow in the pump and out the dump/burp valve then close the dump/burp valve....and it's usually rockin. I had problems getting good flow until I installed the burp valve.
Will a 90 degree elbow on the bottom (inlet) cause issues with the air rising through the pump?
