Lutz-Jesco—Priming Aid

What is it? — The Lutz-Jesco Priming Aid assists in the restarting of pump operation following extended times of pump shut down. It provides liquid to the pump head until chemical is lifted to the pump.

What does it do? — The special feature of the priming aid is the integrated pumping device that allows it to fill the priming aid without opening the collector.

What happens without it? — All brands of metering pumps with low flow rates often have difficulties in priming. With increased suction lift and viscosity of the medium these difficulties become more severe. Air pockets during startup or after exchanging the tank, as well as effervescent media, may also result in priming problems.

How does it work? — Priming is made much easier by using Lutz-Jesco priming aid because the metering head is fed directly with liquid. Any gas is collected in the priming aid. The metering process is not interrupted and cavitation is avoided.

Where does it go? — The priming aid consists of an easy-to-fill collector that is mounted between the suction line and the suction valve of the pump.
