    Loss of Prime

    When talking about a well pump losing it's prime and you need to re-prime the system.

    Google translates:
    การสูญเสีย ที่สำคัญ

    Kār s̄ūỵ s̄eīy thī̀ s̄ảkhạ


    Any confirmation from a knowledgeable person?

    Cheers!

    That reads as

    Gaan soonseea tii samkan, which means a deterioration/ loss of that which is important.

    Do you want to say "loss of pressure"?

    Cheers, boys!

    I'm aware of how to re-prime my 2hp water pump and have had to do it several times lately after changing over various manifold valves in the system. I wanted to be able to tell my water guy that I need a non-return or check valve in the line-up but he knew the English so all's well.

    I've got very good pressure from this pump but for some reason when a remote valve is actuated down the line, backup flow causes the pump to lose prime.

    Getting that much-needed non-return valve fitted tomorrow.
