I bought the cheapo $24.95 pump and faucet from JC Whipme and can't seem to get the pump primed. It is mounted about 12" over the tank, midway between the faucet and the tank. I'm using 3/8" id hose slipped over the barb ends. I just can't get it to stay primed.
My tank is a blue water tank on its side with a hole drilled in it with a grommet and 3/8" id hose slid through. Does the pump have to be below the water level?
Any suggestions????
