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).
Pump can handle any liquid level with a low-cost extension of the suction pipe.
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 the 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.
