Auto-prime Pumps

Simplify your bypass or dewatering set-up with ultra-efficient, low-maintenance dry self-priming pumps.

    The portable pump workhorse.

    Auto-prime pumps prime quickly under any conditions, making them ideal for mobile applications where transfer of dirty liquid, with or without solids, is needed.
    They work by removing air from the inlet pipe automatically using an in-built vacuum system.
    Prime Fluid Management is the sole importer of BBA pumps, recognised globally for their performance, portability and design.
    The BA Series pumps are highly efficient, and require minimal maintenance, making them a dependable asset on site.
