Automatic Air bleed valve:
The automatic air bleed valve eliminates any air pockets in the pump. During this process, air escapes through the vent bores e and air bubbles appear underwater. This is not a defect of your pump, but serves to deaerate the pump, but serves to remove air from the pump.
It may take several seconds for the air to escape when the pump is immersed for the first time.
