P-220A-03 How The Pump Works l The air cylinder housing raises and lowers the diaphragm. l Raising the diaphragm creates a vacuum. l The vacuum forces the discharge valve assembly closed. l Atmospheric pressure pushes liquid and/or air up the inlet plumbing to fill the vacuum. l When the diaphragm is driven down the air and liquid under the diaphragm is compressed closing the inlet check valve and forcing the air and liquid out the discharge.
