Description

The Gorman‑Rupp PA Series® (Prime Aire®) is a family of self‑priming centrifugal pumps that incorporates innovative air‑assist technology to deliver fast, dependable priming performance even under difficult suction lift conditions. The Prime Aire® design enables the pump to evacuate trapped air from the suction line more quickly and efficiently than conventional self‑priming pumps, making it particularly useful where frequent dry starts occur or where suction lines contain significant air.

Built with rugged construction and proven solids‑handling hydraulics, the PA Series® is suitable for a wide range of wastewater, industrial, and commercial fluid handling applications. The air‑assist priming system enhances the pump’s ability to achieve and maintain prime, reducing downtime and improving operational reliability in applications such as lift stations, bypass pumping, dewatering, and stormwater management.

The centrifugal design, combined with carefully engineered impellers and wear components, allows the PA Series® to move wastewater, slurries, and other solids‑laden liquids with minimal clogging. Durable materials and accessible pump components simplify maintenance, helping reduce service time and lifecycle costs.

Key Features:

  • Air‑assist priming technology for faster, more reliable prime

  • Self‑priming centrifugal design

  • Solids‑handling capability for wastewater and industrial fluids

  • Durable construction for long service life
