Why Self-Priming Matters
Many pumps need to be below the liquid level or require a foot valve to hold prime. The QBY doesn’t. It pulls liquid up from up to 7 meters below. This simplifies installation and reduces cost.
How It Achieves Self-Priming
The diaphragms create strong suction on each stroke. The ball valves prevent backflow. Once primed, the pump stays primed for the next start.
Installation Flexibility
- Mount above the tank — no need to submerge
- Use for tanker unloading from top
- Empty drums and barrels completely
- Pump from pits and sumps
Limitations
Suction lift decreases with altitude and with very thick fluids. Keep suction pipe short and straight for best performance.
Applications Summary:
tank unloading, drum emptying, pit pumping, sump drainage, above-tank mounting, self-priming applications
