Diaphragm pumps move water by contracting or expanding a flexible diaphragm. When expanded it draws in air and fluid into the chamber. The downward stroke pressurizes the chamber to discharge fluid and air. The air handling ability makes it ideal for slow seepage applications where centrifugal pumps would lose their prime.
