I just bought a replacement jet pump for a house well. It is
supposedly self priming. The definition of self priming isn't what I
thought. It is self priming after the intake pipes and volute are
filled with water.
Self priming to me would mean that the pump could literally prime
itself after all the plumbing was hooked up. There would be no need to
fill the intake with water.
Am I wrong or is the manufacturer stretching the truth?
