Workarounds Described
- Used 8x 5-gallon pails of water to manually fill the system
- Cut suction line and cycled pump output into a bucket, keeping bucket full while pump ran
- Ran back and forth for more water when first supply ran out

Key Features
- Integrated vacuum pump for air extraction
- Recirculation loop with inline sight glass to monitor prime status
- Quick-connect adapter for standard jet pump housing
- Portable battery-powered design with 5-gallon internal reservoir
Target Users: Plumbing and well technicians who service deep well jet pumps, typically working in residential settings for small to mid-sized service companies
Revenue Model: $199 one-time purchase per unit, with optional $29 annual maintenance kit
