Jeramie Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Im working on the irrigation system for our massive garden (up to around 1,000 plants). Yesterday I finally got to flip on the pump... nothing happened. Come to find out "Discharge" means something different when you take the time to slow down and really read the directions. Yep, have it hooked up backwards.... Now I get to pickup some elbows and couplings and re-route some plumbing tonight. :oops: :bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 One of those "DOH!!!!!" moments eh Jeramie. I'm really bad for not reading the directions. Always try and figure it out myself. Only time I read directions is when I get stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBow Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Men don' need no stinking instructions! :pop: If they put Playboy pin-ups on each page of those instructions, then and only then would men read them first! I'm like Shaun. I only read the instructions after all else fails and I'm stumped......which happens more often then not! TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Problem solved. I picked up a few elbows and couplings this week. Last night after I worked for a few hours I ran out and re-routed everything. I had problems getting it to prime but finally held my hand firmly over the discharge and let it build up pressure. Once that happened it blew like and old time oil well! Things working great now.... I guess it helps if you put the right pipe in the right hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
