What size and brand Diaphragm pump were you trying?

I'm stuck with manually bucketing PC for my dome as well. The plan to
use a 3.5hp diaphragm pump failed yesterday. The pump could move the
water, but gagged on any significant amounts of paper.

I've now been pricing out high end sewage, grinder, rotary, and
stucco pumps. The prices are all over the place, but it looks like if
I'm willing to take some old equipment I can get a shotcrete system
from the beginning of time for $1500.

The pumps are a tricky world. I don't see a low horse power trash
pump being able to move slurry after slurry.
