A dry prime pump will work similar to a normal vacuum. However, the dry prime pump will suck up any solids, liquids, and will get rid of larger messes in a shorter amount of time.

Does a sump pump need a hole in the pipe above the pump?

The hole in the pipe is to break an air lock that the pump may develop if the sump ever runs dry or the water level drops below the intake of the pump. Air inside the pump might not be purged out when the water level rises and the pump is called to turn on, causing the pump impeller to 'run dry' inside the pump. The hole allows the air to escape and the pump to prime itself and operate without an air lock condition.

What do you mean by self prime pump?

In order for a pump to work it needs something to Prime(suck) and because water and fuels arent solid enough you have to prime it. meaning fill the suction hose up so there is no air so the pump can suck. if there is air in it it wont work. as the pump sucks up the fuel/water in the hose it drags up the rest of whats in the tank or under the ground or what every your pumping. a self priming pump has a foot valve(one way hose) on it. when the pump suck up and is turned off all that is in the suction hose does not run back out it stays in the because of the foot valve.
