lost prime in well pump

Hi everyone,

I lost the prime in my irrigation well pump by leaving pump on and outflow valves off.(oopps) I tried to re-prime by pouring water in the gauge port but this didnt work. There appears to be a check valve down by the well head and the pump is a standard 1hp jet pump with a 6 zone distributer Did I damage the check valve? What do I do to get a prime back? The pump appears to still be operating fine. Also, there is about 25 ft between pump and well head.
