Title: Anyone use a bilge pump?
Post by: Stoots on December 13, 2014, 06:45:48 pm

Would i be able to use a bilge pump before two d.i s? 

not used one before i want to go from tank on van to bilge pump to twin d.i s do offer enough psi to push thru?

im assuming this will work? i need unpurified in tank for car valeting then to purify for trolley but dont want to be lugging barrels as ive i just done my back in humping them about! :)

I cant see it not working tbh.

Been using these for nearly 5 years and just had one fail in a van.

You can pay between £20 - £30 and get a 1500 - 2500 gph bilge.

What size are the DI vessels as that could cause an issue..........

was just looking at that one on ebay, do they use standard hose pipe diameter?
2x 11 litre vessels, i can gravity feed from tank thru the d.i s its just slow, want to speed it up so i can keep 1 bottle permanently on trolley and not hump around bottles


cheers

I can't remeber but I think the yellow hose from pure freedom will fit on.

It's 29/31mm depending on what one you get.

You can get 25mm or less but you have saving a
Few pennies and the GPH is rubbish.

I don`t think it will work, the one i have can be killed with my hand pressure over the hose.
