Yes, an AODD Yamada pump can run dry. Only this is not recommended for PTFE fitted pumps! And be aware of life time and energy use during dry running! -
Yes. The discharge line may be closed with no power consumed, no temperature increases, and without damage or wear. The pump will simply stop when discharge pressure exceeds the air pressure. No pressure relief valve is needed. The DP/XDP and G-series are the best choice for dead-head applications, avoid using the NDP-15 series. -
Yes, you can. Just run an air hose from the exhaust of the pump above fluid level. WARNING: It depends on the chemical resistance of the used materials, if you can submerse the pump into the liquid being pumped! -
Yes, our AODD pumps are self priming. Wet suction up to 9 meters. Dry suction best with rubber fitted pumps and at low speeds.
