Debris trap for capturing debris flowing in a stream of liquid and priming assembly for a pump

A debris trap for capturing debris flowing in a stream of liquid, the debris trap comprising:

• a housing having a space inside the housing;
• a fluid inlet channel in communication with the space;
• a fluid outlet channel in communication with the space, the fluid outlet channel comprising a fluid outlet port;
• a float member;
• a guide to guide a movement of the float member when a liquid level in the space changes;
• a stopper in connection with the fluid outlet port, the stopper configured to stop the movement of the float member when the liquid level in the space rises,
• wherein the fluid outlet port, when the float member is against the stopper, is configured to remain partially open, such that the float member, when brought against the stopper, forms at least one fluid communication path with a reduced area which is configured to restrict a size of the debris capable of flowing through the fluid outlet port.
