Abstract
The present invention covers systems and methods for priming a canister fluid filtration system. It utilizes the push and pull caused by the movement of a piston of a priming pump between two openings in the chamber of the priming pump, to push the air out of the canister and introduces fluid into it, thereby achieving the purpose of priming the fluid filtration system.
Claims11
A system for priming an aquarium canister fluid filtration system, comprising:
- a. A chamber;
- b. A piston that can be moved through the chamber by a handle that is accessible outside said aquarium canister fluid filtration system and said chamber;
- c. A first opening on first end of the chamber which has a fluid connection to the fluid to be filtered;
- d. A second opening on the second end of the chamber which has a fluid connection to the inside of said aquarium canister fluid filtration system and is positioned on the chamber such that it is above the piston when the piston is fully depressed and may be below the piston when the piston is less than fully depressed;
- Wherein the filtration system is primed by first moving the piston toward the first opening and then moving it back, so that any air bubbles in said aquarium canister fluid filtration system are pushed out and the fluid enters the canister to allow said aquarium canister fluid filtration system to work properly.

A priming system for a fluid pump, comprising:
- a. A priming chamber;
- b. A piston that can be moved through the priming chamber by a handle that is accessible from the outside of the fluid pump and priming system for a fluid pump;
- c. A first opening on first end of the chamber which has a fluid connection through an inlet of the fluid pump to the fluid to be pumped;
- d. A second opening on the second end of the chamber which has a fluid connection to an outlet of the fluid pump and is positioned on the chamber such that it is above the piston when the piston is fully depressed and can be below the piston when the piston is less than fully depressed;
- e. Wherein the fluid pump is primed by first moving the piston toward the first opening and then moving it back, so that any air bubbles in the fluid pump are pushed out and replaced by fluid to allow the fluid pump to work properly.
