Self-Priming Pump for Home Description

A Self-Priming Pump for Home is an above-ground centrifugal water pump designed to automatically remove air from the suction line at startup, allowing it to prime itself without repeated manual priming after initial setup. Powered by a standard electric motor, this pump provides reliable water flow and pressure for domestic water supply, overhead tank filling, garden irrigation, and everyday household needs.

When the electric motor starts, it drives a centrifugal impeller that draws water into the pump body. The self-priming design enables the pump to clear air from the suction line during startup and establish consistent water flow without needing to fill the suction pipe manually each time. This makes operation easy and convenient for everyday home use.
