Hello, I should think, that the turbine pump needs to be filled with water, before its activation, in other words before it is turned on. If you prime a vertical turbine pump and leave it then how do you stop all the fluid running back down the well? A foot valve would create a restriction at the inlet The answer is you provided a minimum submergance level in the sump above the first stage eye to prevent draw down and meet the NPSH required. Most VTP's are designed with cutlass rubber or other bearings that can run for short periods dry until the fluid reaches them.

Are rotary pumps self-priming and if not how do I prime it?
Some rotary pumps are self-priming when dry. These pumps have a priming chamber that automatically does the self-priming when the pump is not in use. To prime a pump yourself, the priming plug should be removed. Water should then be poured into the pump. The entire priming process should take no longer than five minutes. If it takes longer than that, it could be indicative of a mechanical problem.
