Step 6Turning on the Pump and Testing the Filling Station
Plug in the pump and let 'er rip. Give the pump a minute or so and see how it's doing. As you can see in my first picture, the number of drain holes I started with weren't enough to deal with the speed of the pump, and there's plenty of water leaking out around the fill hose. Not a huge deal but it pours down the back of the jug doesn't look as fancy.
You can adjust the intake on your pump, or add more filling streams. I chose the latter. Don't worry about emptying the jug; just crank up your drill and go to town. Add a few and see how it changes the level of the water. As long as the water level is below the hole for the fill hose you're golden.
