Pump Basics

Centrifugal pump with a metallic body and blue motor, illustrating wastewater pumping solutions for improved efficiency.

What is a DAF Pump?

The basic principle of the peristaltic pumps traces back to human “peristalsis”. A term referring to the alternating contraction and relaxation of muscles around a tube to force the contents through it. An elastomeric tube is squeezed along a length by rollers that push the fluid contained within. The tube’s restitution after squeezing produces a vacuum that draws fluid continuously into the tube.

What Is A Self Priming Pump?

Self-priming pumps are a type of centrifugal pump that uses an air-water mixture to reach a fully-primed pumping condition. They are used in many applications, including raw sewage and industrial wastewater transfer, mine and construction site dewatering, and fuel and effluent transfer.
