Eheim 1250 pump

[Fly258]

I have just ordered the above pump and was wondering if anyone can tell me if it is self priming. I intend to use it for gravel cleaning and water changes.
Many thanks
Jim

the eheim 1250 is not self priming. it hase to be submersed but can be run externaly if manualy primed.
