Abstract: In one aspect, a pump is provided comprising a motor configured to rotate a shaft that is operably coupled to an impeller. The impeller is housed within a fluid chamber having an inlet and a discharge in fluid communication with the inlet. The fluid chamber further includes an outlet in a top portion thereof for venting air within the fluid chamber when the impeller is rotated by the motor. In other forms, a pump assembly is provided with an internal float switch integrated into the pump housing.

Abstract: A fluid pumping apparatus having a motor, an impeller connected to a motor shaft of the motor for pumping fluid, a pump housing including an upper portion in which at least a portion of the motor is disposed and a base portion, the upper portion of the pump housing including a top portion and a substantially cylindrical wall extending longitudinally from the top portion to the base portion, the upper portion including a first protruding portion extending radially outward from the substantially cylindrical wall and extending longitudinally along the substantially cylindrical wall to form a first fluid passageway along a first portion of the motor and having a second protruding portion extending radially outward from the substantially cylindrical wall and extending longitudinally along the substantially cylindrical wall to form a second fluid passageway along a second portion of the motor.
