Self-priming pumps are versatile devices that, after being primed for the first time, draw water independently from the suction hose. This makes them suitable for gardening, households, pressure boosting systems, and swimming pools. In the Dambat product range – owner of the IBO brand – a special place is occupied by the SWIM series self-priming pool pump. This quiet, compact, and exceptionally durable pump for water filtration and circulation is suitable for both private pools and smaller recreational facilities.

SWIM self-priming pumps – ideal for pool water
The SWIM series self-priming garden pump in the pool version is a device with a pre-filter that effectively filters water containing chlorine or salt. The use of reinforced plastic and abrasion-resistant components enables operation in demanding water conditions – including seawater. The pump features quiet operation, compact dimensions, and thermal protection built into the motor winding.
Features of SWIM pumps:
- Self-priming design – no need to prime it every time,
- Pre-filter – captures larger contaminants,
- Reinforced abrasion-resistant housing,
- Suitable for operation with seawater,
- Quiet and reliable operation,
- Motor with thermal protection,
- 24-month warranty and full service support (warranty and post-warranty).
Self-priming pump – where else can it be used?
In addition to swimming pools, self-priming pumps are widely used in many other applications:
- Self-priming water pump – for garden irrigation, watering allotments, and sprinkler systems,
- Self-priming pressure booster system – for single-family homes drawing water from shallow wells,
- 230V self-priming water pump – a socket-powered version for household use,
- Self-priming dirty-water pump – for pumping water containing contaminants and light sediment,
- Self-priming fuel pump – for transferring diesel fuel and other technical fluids,
- Self-priming motor pump – powered by an internal combustion engine, for fieldwork, including with dirty water,
- 230V self-priming fuel pump – used in workshops and industrial facilities.
Submersible or self-priming pump – which should you choose?
A submersible pump is used for wells deeper than 7–8 meters. It is installed directly in the water reservoir. A self-priming surface pump, on the other hand, is suitable for shallow wells, above-ground reservoirs, and swimming pools. It is easier to install and maintain, but has a lower suction depth.
In practice, a self-priming garden pump is ideal for garden, pool, or household applications, while a submersible pump is the right choice for deep wells.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between a self-priming pump and a regular pump?
A self-priming pump can draw in water independently after the suction line has been primed for the first time. A regular pump requires continuous priming or operation below the water level.
Can the SWIM pump handle salt water?
Yes. Pumps in the SWIM series can operate with seawater. Their components that come into contact with water are resistant to abrasion and corrosion.
Can a self-priming pump be used for fuel?
Yes, provided that it is designed for this purpose. A self-priming fuel pump must have suitable chemical resistance and seals. Fuel versions are most commonly offered as AOP pumps.
Which pump should you choose for watering a garden?
The best choice is a self-priming garden pump with a capacity matched to the number of sprinklers and the area. Models from the SWIM series are quiet and durable – they are also suitable for this application.
