Abstract: A method of de-watering during intermittent dry running periods with a self-priming centrifugal pump is presented. Centrifugal pumps, as opposed to diaphragm pumps, are advantageous because they are less expensive and can provide greater capacity.

The inventive concept provides a continuous stream of pressurized water moving through the pump to cool the seal and sustain priming capability without substantially impairing the ability of the pump to resume wet operation.
