Just got 110 gallons delivered today in 2drums. I setup my pump ontop of the drums using a 5850. I have 5 (5 gallon pails i fill up-blue) and i put whatever i need into my mix tank the morning of the job. Having the sh delivered will save me atleast 50-60 hrs of driving tbis yr back and forth to the chem store. Plus gas. I also am getting cheaper than i have been for the last 2 yrs.

Looks like a good setup Mike. I thought you said Buckmans wouldn't come out to you.

 Buckmans is a major supplier they supply to other suppliers.

very nice Mike

That's nicely setup Mike. What type of pumps are you using? 5 gpm?

that a pretty sweet set up.. has anyone thought about getting a large holding tank to get SH delivered in real bulk? say 200 gallons or so at a time?

Mike, how long will the sh hold it's strength.

 I have used sh that was 4 months old before and it worked just as good. My supplier said that it breaks down 1-2 pionts every 30 days. Those 2 drums i have will be used up by next friday maybe sooner so it wont be sitting around to long. I will be ordering another 2 drums next thursday and they will be here by friday.

Are you flushing the 5850 out?

 Yes thats what the little 5 gallon bucket is for i fill it up twice and rinse out the pump.

That's what I figured, I'm still using the 5850 for everything.
Looking good!

 Im actually going to switch over to 2 5850's on the trailer for spraying and use my all flo for transfering from the drums. I will be able to take my massive air compressor (not as big as gary's) off my trailer and free up about 4 ft of space.

 Mike I transfer with my All-Flo and it sucks, It's slow and you have to babysit it because it pulsates and the hose will come out of the contaniner.

 

I have a 200 gl tank, my issue was that the pool supplier's SH was either 14.5 or 60 days old, thinking about a delivery with their supplier, but I don't know about adding 100 gl of fresh to 100 gl of 3-4 weeks old. Fresh is best for us. Just need to have a larger backlog of work. Pool supplies don't really care if the product is 60-90 days old, they sell it without issue's.
