The Darley Air Hog is an innovative priming system that utilizes compressed air from trucks’ air brake systems to create a vacuum, drawing water up to the pump impeller. This prepares the pump for efficient operation.
Why is this needed?
Achieving a reliable prime is crucial for optimal performance in many pumping applications. The Darley Air Primer addresses this need with a dependable, efficient solution that minimizes maintenance and maximizes operational readiness.
How does it work?
The primer uses venturis to generate a vacuum, which draws water into the pump. Powered by compressed air, it eliminates the risk of overrunning and damaging the primer, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
