Pump Priming Chamber

Centrifugal pumps may require a priming chamber as an auxiliary means of lifting liquid from below the pump centerline to the pump inlet or from the liquid surface over a tank wall. The answer to this requirement is this line of easy to use and install priming chambers. Once the priming chamber is filled, the pump can be started and re-started without subsequent re-priming. Each time the pump is turned off, the priming chamber retains a volume of liquid. When the pump is re-started, it pumps the entrapped liquid out of the priming chamber, creating a vacuum in its place. Atmospheric pressure then forces liquid from the tank or sump up the suction hose or pipe to the pump, completing the prime.
