Hi everyone. I am having trouble with a pump on the well we have..To be fair the pump has been in service for a long while. I have been trying to prime the pump but it for some reason I cant get it to prime. Would there be any reason the casing wouldn't fill with water when I fill it through the priming point.

I haven't pulled the pipework up out of the well just yet to check the valve.
