My hands remember that well water was relatively warm, even if it was cold outside

Just as you say.

I had a well at my home, with lever placed a bit too high for young kid to reach.
Hanging on it though, only to find weight of my little body wasnt heavy enough.

Sometimes water never runs even if we pull lever over and over.
Thats always the case when we havent used it for a long time.
Then how we could pump water up from well?
Easy.
Just pour water, and keep pulling lever.
After a while, you see water running over.
It just made sense to me for a word priming water, which is used when something happen through something. I learned it from this experience.
