Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What maintenance does this pump need?
Periodically check the mechanical seal for leaks, inspect the impeller for wear, and keep the suction line free of debris that could clog or damage the impeller.
Q: Does this come with a motor or engine?
Availability varies by listing. PumPak versions are a bare, run-tested pump end for coupling to your own driver; complete units include the motor or engine as noted in the title.
Q: How do I know this is the right pump for my equipment?
Match it by the MP Pumps part number stamped on the unit or listed on your equipment parts diagram. Send us a picture of your pump plate and we will confirm fitment.
Q: What does self-priming mean for this pump?
A self-priming pump can clear air from its own suction line on startup rather than needing the line pre-filled with liquid, using an internal check valve to hold prime between runs.
