What Are Self-Priming and End Suction Pumps
Self-priming pumps are centrifugal pumps capable of evacuating air from the suction line and priming themselves without the need for manual filling—perfect for above-grade or flooded-suction applications.
End suction pumps are the most common pump type, offering a compact footprint, reliable flow, and low maintenance. They are widely used in building services, water circulation, and OEM equipment.
Key Benefits:
- Fast and simple installation
- Reduced downtime with serviceable designs
- Excellent for applications with variable flow or debris
- Low NPSH requirements and stable operation
