Wanted to check to see if anyone can suggest what I might need to do different. This is up north so I only get there on weekends and have an hour of driving if I don't bring fittings with me.
The outlet side was put together 10 days ago and got 7 days to dry. The inlet side was put together Saturday and run within less than an hour of assembly.
I'm guessing the inadequate drying time left the joints in a state they couldn't prevent air leaks. This meant air was drawn in and meant pressure wasn't generated and eventually prime was lost.
I intend to replace with galvanized iron.
