What is a self-priming centrifugal pump?

A centrifugal pump that uses an air-water mixture to achieve a primed pumping condition is considered a self-priming pump. Standard or non-self-priming centrifugal pumps can become stuck when air gets in it. This is referred to as becoming "air-bound," and it means the pump stops operating.

Self-priming centrifugal pumps mix air and water and are able to pump this mixture, eventually expelling the air and pumping just water. Self-priming centrifugal pumps must have water in the casing in order to operate. The self-priming function only refers to the pump's ability to pump air mixed with water until the pump is fully primed. After the first prime, a self-priming pump will retain water and thus be "self-priming." It's important to understand that you cannot operate a self-priming pump if it only has air in the casing.
