Lubing up the pump before going to the lake

[dgie]

I always add grease to all zerq fittings on the pump to include the ujoints. I was wondering how much are you suposed to put in these things. In the past when I greased something I would keep pumping until the stuff came out some port. I keep pumping and see nothing on these jets. I know it is going in because of the pressure. But????? I have a 12WJ Jacuzzi

I usually only put a couple pumps in at a time. The back of the bowl will just fill with grease if you put too much in the rear fiting, and the front fitting will squirt out of the front bearing when it gets warm.

so a couple squirts in each fitting and thats good for the day?

The couple of pumps each time you go to the lake is the way to go. Just make sure you put those 2 pumps in every time you Come Home from the lake instead of just before you go to the lake. This lubes the pump just as well, only it pushes out any water that might have gotten into the bearing. That way the water in not setting in the bearing causing problems for the two weeks it sets before you run it again.
