English term or phrase: prime(d)
Encontrei diversas traduções como "preparar", porém não parecem caber neste caso.
Trata-se de uma breve explicação sobre bombas centrífugas e de rotor helicoidal.

"Keeping a pump primed:
A submersible pump is self-priming as it is submerged.
Consideration has to be made in initial pump priming (filler) and keeping the pump primed when it is switched off (valves)."

Notei que em Portugal é usado “ferrar”/”ferrado”, mas isto não parece existir no Brasil.

E se alguém tiver uma ideia para "filler", também agradeço muito!
