PRINCIPLES OF SELF-PRIMING

1 During pump installation, the priming

1 2
housing is filled through the fill port.

2 As priming begins, air in the suction

piping mixed with liquid in the priming
chamber forms a vacuum in the inner
volute. As they separate, the air rises
out of the discharge piping while the
liquid returns to the priming chamber.

3 The circulation process continues until

liquid replaces all the air in the suction

piping, beginning the pumping process.

4 When the pump is shut off, the priming

chamber’s gooseneck design ensures
that enough liquid is retained for
efficient re-priming.
