Versa will not prime line

[GarciaCO]

Hello everyone, I’ve been trying to prime the line in this DIY Voss bottle that I made since yesterday and I have not been able to. The liquid will not prime for some reason.

Can anyone help?

Had the same problem with a hydros pump. Turned out not to be the pump at all and was the lines were not pushed in all the way and air was leaking into the line.

Edit: just noticed you’re using a rigid tube. That’s were my issue was, were it connects to the bulkhead

Ok. Let me check and see if they are tightly connected

Let me correct myself. I hadn’t pushed the rigid tubing far enough into the bulkhead. Regardless check all the connections to rule out human error

Also is there a way for air to get into the bottle? Maybe it’s creating a vacuum. I’d drill a small air hole or at least loosen the cap a little
