How Does the BBA B-Series Work?

The rotation of the open impeller draws the air in the suction pipe through the Self Priming Pump. As the air in the suction gets pulled through it creates a vacuum behind it causing the liquid in the tank to be drawn into the pump head. This is shown in the diagram with white arrows representing air and blue arrows representing the liquid.

When the suction pipe no longer contains air, the pump then draws in liquid thus self-priming itself. The non-return valve on the pump’s inlet ensures that the media can’t be siphoned back into the holding tank. This guarantees that re-priming is possible immediately.
