To provide a hot spring water pumping system for well pumping high temperature spring water from a hot spring source existing at a high elevation site with easy operation.
The hot spring water pumping system comprises a pump 1 for pumping hot spring water from the source W, a hot water suction pipe 3 connected at one end to the suction port of the pump 1 and provided extending from the pump to the site of the source W, a hot water feed pipe 4 connected at one end to the discharge port of the pump 1 for guiding the hot spring water discharged from the pump to a predetermined position, a water storage tank 7 for storing priming water introduced into the pump before starting the pump 1, a priming pump 10 for introducing the priming water stored in the water storage tank into the pump 1, and a control part 14 for controlling the drive of the pump 1 and the priming pump 10. Particularly, the hot water suction pipe 3 passes into the water storage tank 7 and a branch pipe 8 branches from the hot water feed pipe 4 toward the water storage tank 7.
