Need help!! initial priming Bullfrog x7 no water flow
Skysurfer2010:
Good to know, thank you!

For what it's worth, my Bullfrog R8 air locks in pump 2 every time I drain and fill, regardless of whether I fill through the filter intakes or not. Am I correct in thinking the two intakes under the two filters are each feeding one pump/the jets that pump drives each? Because regardless of which intake I put the hose in, water only comes out through the jets driven by pump #1 (the one I never have a problem with).
In any case, on 2 fills the air eventually worked its way out by stopping/starting pump #2 over and over again (to the point I was becoming concerned about running the pump dry). On my third fill (yesterday) I had to bleed the air out on pump 2 as the OP did as stopping/starting just wasn't getting it done.

This is clearly a design issue. But also not uncommon for other manufacturers and even sub sets within manufacturers.
Sam:
both filter stand pipes go to pump one. Neither goes to pump two. Try filling through a jetpak stand pipe on the pump 2 side as well as through the filter next time.

I'll give that a try next time. Seems like that would be good information to have in the manual (which only states to remove the filters and fill in the filter compartment).
