How are you all pulling SH from 55gal Drum to Mix Tank?

I use the AOD on the roof cleaning trailer.

Rig a fill valve on your inlet bulkhead and hook up a draw tube from hose with a piece of pvc.

When it's hooked to this valve the ube is made long enough to drain a barrel. I have a tube on the outlet manifold to fill the mobile storage tank.

Thats what I use too Bill, but Mine is hooked up to a seperate flojet 5gpm pump.

I use the same pump for everything.
Plumb it in and put in a few valves so the same pump can do it all. Just be sure to rinse it well.

Looks like a sweet setup Bill.

I don't have the set up for such yet. I'll need to pump from the drum as needed.
Any recommendation on a drum pump, hand pump, I could use and where I might purchase such.

Thanks.

Harbor Freight has some cheap pumps, I don't think you want a hand pump, they have a 110v pump for about $40.00 or so, plus if you get a 10% off coupon, save some more $$.

Keep it rinsed and should last until you get everything you need... smile

Been using that pump for over a year. Take the cover off the end and the fan blade so you can free it up. It will stick every time after use even if you wash it well. Give it a turn with a set of pliers and you're good to go. Works for me!!

I use a 5gpm Delavan to transfer, it works off a car battery and I only have to charge it once in a while.

I always flush it out with water when done for the day and I get about 1 year out of those Delavan pumps.

i use the green top hand pump. The red ones are garbage. yeah, i dunno why i didn't install a bulkhead and plumb through the pump....probably didn't want to see all the extra piping. (also my guys are confused enough with 4 valves; its sad)

I use the same pump for everything also. Pump sh first, then it flushes the pump when putting in water out of holding tank.

Thanks. Bought a pump from them yesterday. $33.00.

You can get plastic had pumps from US Plastic for about $6 if you are on a budget and have time to spare.

I get it in 5 gal. size not 55 gal. so it is easyer. I guess I could have them fill a 55gal drum if I brought them one. I like the 5gal better.
