Self Priming Pumps

Self-priming pumps that pull water without needing to be manually primed each time. A self-priming pump clears air from the suction line on start-up, so it is ideal for irrigation, water transfer, sprinkler, and above-ground applications where the pump sits above the water source. Shop self-priming water pumps and jet pumps sized by flow (GPM), head, and horsepower, all with free shipping and expert support.

FAQ's

What does “self-priming” mean?

self-priming pump can clear air from the suction line and begin pumping automatically after the first fill—so it can sit above the water source without losing prime.

Do self-priming pumps need to be filled before use?

Yes—only the first time. After the initial fill, the pump recirculates liquid inside the casing and re-primes itself automatically.

Where are they used?

Irrigation systems, water transfer, job-site dewatering, washdown, fountains, truck tanks, sewage bypass, and any application needing suction lift.

How much suction lift can a self-priming pump handle?

Most handle ~20–25 ft of vertical lift depending on model, elevation, temperature, and suction line sizing.
