Re: [papercreters] Pump and Buckets was Current Project

I just gave up on pumps I was wasting my time and money. I can not go high end because of my budget so it is buckets for me also. The hoist on the back of my van that I use for the drag scoop goes to up 14ft with a 5 gal bucket. So I do not have to do alot of lifting, just move the mixer to where the pc is going, scoop it out with the hoist lift/swing it over to where I want to dump it and I am done.

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.
