Step 4: Throttle up to 150 PSI on your master discharge gauge. Step 5: Crack the master intake valve until you see gauge fluctuation — that’s trapped air moving through the tank fill.

⚠️ Do not burp draft before doing these four things! In a high-stress situation, like a rural fire with a failed primer, you can rely on burp drafting—but only if you have these four essentials: 1️⃣ Water in the Booster Tank – No water, no flow. Keep it ready. 2️⃣ Throttle Up to 150 PSI 3️⃣ Flowing Water Somewhere 4️⃣ Intake Valve Control – Ensure you can manage water flow into the pump. ⚠️ If you run out of water mid-operation, you’ll be forced back to using a primer, which only works if it’s f

🟧 Avoid this common mistake in burp drafting! 💡 Andy Soccodato of The Water Thieves LLC shares a critical tip on the tank fill line. "It's important for pump operators to know the size of their tank fill line. If the line is too large, such as two inches in diameter, opening it fully can lead to pump cavitation. This happens when the tank fill discharges more water than the tank-to-pump plumbing can supply, causing pressure issues when throttling up to 150 PSI. To prevent this, slightly gate b
