Sounds like you need to re-prime your pump. The check valve on the well- side line of your pump should hold water up so that you don't have to fill that. A defective check valve may be the reason that you lost prime. The water in your downstairs is probably just the water in the lines draining down from upstairs.

drain trap

on Jan 08, 2000

I recently had a clogged bathtub drain. The drain company said they were unable to unclog it because of the trap. they then sent out a plumber who removed the pipe and trap totally and replaced it only with a pipe, no trap. I would like to know if this is okay not to have a trap. I would appreciate any response. My email address is pobear1@prodigy.net. Thank you Joyce Popanda
