Abstract: A pump having an impeller with front and back sides, for rotating on a shaft with the front side nearest an inlet and the back side nearest a motor housing, to provide a main flow of the liquid from the inlet to the outlet and a rear impeller flow of the liquid in an area between the impeller's back side and the motor housing. The back side having a logarithmic spiral-shaped vane to constantly sweep, and expel debris from, the area. The logarithmic spiral-shaped vane defined by an equation: r=eΘ/tan(β), where r and theta (Θ) are the radius and azimuthal angle defined using a polar coordinate system having an origin at a center point of the impeller; and beta (β) is an angle perpendicular to which a force acting on the debris will be oriented relative to a line tangent to a circle centered at the center of the impeller and extending out to the point of contact between the vane and the debris.

Abstract: A pump has a housing that includes an inlet to receive a liquid to be pumped, an outlet to provide the liquid being pumped, a pumping chamber between the inlet/outlet; and a motor shaft to rotate in the pumping chamber. The impeller is arranged on the motor shaft, includes radially curved vanes to rotate inside the pumping chamber to pump the liquid from the pumping chamber to the outlet; and includes anti-airlock vanes formed as a set of axially curving vane extensions that extend along the axis of the shaft, rotate with one part inside the pumping chamber, protrude through the inlet and rotate with another part outside the inlet for submerging in liquid to be pumped underneath the pump, draw the liquid through the inlet into the pumping chamber, and provide the liquid to the radially curved vanes to generate pressure to force entrapped air from the pumping chamber.
