What pumps are each of you using to transfer SH from your holding tank to your truck?
I used to use one of the pumps I had from my double pump system but then moved to just loading a new barrel directly onto the truck each day. Then using a hand pump into our mix tanks.
Now that we will be moving over to the ProPortioner System I need to move things around and do a new build. I'll be using totes at the shop and need to pump up to the trucks each day but the 12v was slow.....so just wondering how everyone else handles it.

We use the fatboy to transfer SH from our 300 gallon tote to our truck.

Doug,
i use flojet 5 gal a minutes pump that I buy from Dultmier. They are small and cheap, 106 buck. I buy the regular 115/120 volt ones and just put a plug end on them when I get them. I have a back up Nothern Tool 7 gal a min pump, but that cheap flojet one has been on the wall since I changed it out in March. It just started to go this past week. I will post a pic later today.

Thanks John and Hank. I'm a bit impatient so I was hoping for better than 5gpm. Roof cleaning has actually made me relax a bit more. You need a bit of patience for some things.

It's faster than u think. It's he first thing my guys do when they come in while loading the rest of the truck and getting the paperwork out of the office. Only take a few minutes. I also stagger my trucks by 20-30 minutes every day, so they do not bump into each other and have little pow wows in the morning.

That's a 12v.......why not go with 110?
Funny, I just looked it up. I equate Northern Tool with Harbor Freight.....meaning they sell cheap junk that never lasts. This pump, according to the write up, looks better than the ones most of the industry stores sell.......and has a 2 year warranty (probably not for bleach but still).
Are you shooting roofs with it as well?

Yes and it is a great pump. And we use it on one system and it does have a commercial warranty, that they stand behind.

I'm assuming if you use it to spray mix as to 12V you do not need to worry about thermal burn out or is it on demand like a 12v?
If I don't have to worry about pressure switch failure wouldn't that be a plus

Regaurdless of how you equate it. I mentioned I have two. Not because of price. I buy the best I can. I bought one to use as a transfer pump of straight 12.5 % from tank to truck. I was cleaning a large roof and had trouble with an air pump. Hooked up a second air pump and it gave me problems. So I was lucky enough to have parts to use the Northern pump to finish the job. I now no longer carry an air compressor. I went back to electric and keep a back up. On the 7gpm it states using a 1' suction hose. Good Pump!

We use the northern tool 110V. I don't remember if 5 or 7 gpm. It was only used to transfer SH. Never rinsed. Installed in April and it just died last week. We will buy another.
