Figure 10 shows a typical application using the Dry Prime
diesel-powered prime-assist pump. Please note that this
pump is intended for the removal of clean water and water
containing some debris and solids. Maximum size of solids
should not exceed 3.2 inches (81.2 mm) in diameter. DO
NOT set strainer on bottom of water bed.
Placing the strainer above the water bed will prevent the
pump from drawing in excessive amounts of sand and
foreign debris.
The following terms are usually used when referring to lift
or head:
1. Static Suction Lift – The vertical distance from the water
line to the center of the impeller.
2. Static Discharge Head – The vertical distance from
the discharge outlet to the point of discharge or liquid
level when discharging into the bottom of a water tank.
3. Dynamic Suction Head – The static suction lift plus
the friction in the suction line. Also referred to as total
suction head.
4. Dynamic Discharge Head – The static discharge head
plus the friction in the discharge line. Also referred to
as total discharge head.
5. Total Dynamic Head – The Dynamic Head Suction
Head plus the Dynamic Discharge Head. Also referred
