Description
The most advanced pump primer in the world
For many concrete pump operators, the worst part of the job is priming or grouting the pump. usually this involves making a slurry by mixing cement powder and water into a paste.
This is now becoming an outdated process and carries significant risks to the health and safety of pump operators with risks like skin burns, dermatitis, respiratory concerns and back injuries from heavy lifting.
Prime-a-Pump is by far the most superior alternative to existing methods used to prime pumps. It’s a dry powder specifically formulated to provide a transparent, odourless, clean and economic alternative to traditional cement and water slurries used to pump prime, without any of the old problems.

Prime-a-Pump is so easy to use!
A 450mg bottle of Prime-a-Pump is simply emptied and stirred into 30ltrs of water, left for 15 minutes to thicken prior to the start of pumping operations. During this time, the mixture thickens and takes on a slippery texture, which adheres to all the pump’s internal surfaces once it is applied.
