Ok, im doing a dry (wet) run on my new March pump. I don't have a sculpture, just going to use it to transfer sparge water, and pump through cfc. I put my old turkey fryer (it came with a spigot attached) up approx 3 feet in the air and put 5 gallons of cold water in it. Then I put the pump on the floor below, and ran the output hose to my boil kettle, which sits on a stand approx 16 inches off the floor. When I open the valve on the turkey fryer water barley trickles out, but if I disconnect the hose it comes out normally. It won't supply enough water to prime the friggin pump even though the water is falling straight down! What gives? Im using the McMaster Carr brass coolant disconnects, with 1/2" tubing.
