Putting a new pump on my 22' well. I'm also replacing the vertical check
valve just above surface.

Will the pump pick up water without priming the well? To prime it, I'd
have to find a way to push the plunger back down the well head, and fill it
with water.

I'm hoping the pump will suck up water to do the job. That's the way it
first happened, I think.........
It should be self priming. First it will suck out all the air, and the
water will follow it.
