World Chemical’s Self-Priming Pump
(GV/GVF Series) |
| |
 |
| Priming water & performance |
|
- Valveless design allows pump to prime liquids containing limited amounts of solid particles.
- Prevents backflow by siphoning and keeps priming water in auxiliary tank.
- Automatically primes 16.4 ft. in less than 2 minutes.
|
| Bushing & suction pipe |
- Submersed pumps always require bushing.
- Additional bushing is required when suction pipes are longer than 5.2 ft. (from pump base).
|
|
| Cooling water |
- Requires outer cooling water for the bushing.
- Used cooling water enters sump pit, adding wastewater treatment costs.
- Insufficient volume of cooling water caused by its water pressure or frozen pipes tends to lead to pump failure.
|
- Requires no outer cooling water.
|
| Maintenance |
- Unclogging strainers can be tedious and expensive.
- Costly periodic replacement of bushing.
|
- Strainers are easily cleaned by lifting the suction pipe.
- Lightweight construction enables the maintenance work to be carried out by one person.
