They reprime on their own? I thought they had to be started manually. Also, all the demos I’ve seen waste water horribly if it’s not being consumed at the end of the line.
The type that I'm talking about doesn't have anything to be started. It works on gravity.
It pushes water into a capped riser pipe and builds pressure up. The check valve prevents backflow so the pressure can only push water in 1 direction.
I think a good rule of thumb is, it can pump water uphill to 50% elevation of your source.
In the right situation you can increase this.
I forgot to say, it does lose a lot of water from the waste valve, but if you are getting the water from a natural source, that water is going to continue on to where it would naturally flow anyway. I'm not sure I would consider that actually wasted.
I found this simple video that demonstrates how one works.
