A self-priming peripheral pump is a type of pump that is designed to automatically prime itself, meaning it can create a suction and draw fluid into the pump without the need for external priming. It is commonly used for various applications such as water supply, irrigation, and domestic use.
The main advantage of a self-priming peripheral pump is its ability to quickly and easily start pumping without the need for manual priming or filling the pump with water beforehand. This makes it convenient and efficient for situations where the water source may be located above the pump or where there may be air or gas present in the system.
These pumps are typically compact in size and have a peripheral impeller design, which allows for high pressure and efficient flow. They are often made of durable materials such as stainless steel or cast iron to ensure longevity and resistance to corrosion.
Self-priming peripheral pumps are available in different sizes and power capacities to suit various pumping requirements. They are easy to install and operate, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.
