I have been seeing lots of people reporting problems with the delavan's.
Is there alternate pumps beside shurflo?
could we please list along with dist info.
Please no dist, contractors only.
In the above thread we are talking about debris not being able to travel through delavan's.
i have heard this issue before, I also know its a Warranty issue.
So are there alternatives or methods that we can resolve the issue professionally.
I saw this post over at PT State "alleging" that Apple Sauce "burned up pumps" because it had "unnecessary stuff" in it, LOL
The ARMA Method Many advertise as using, uses TSP.
TSP seldom dissolves all the way.
If someone is so STUPID to see undissolved stuff in their tank, and NOT use a strainer, perhaps they should go back to Auto Detailing, or selling Mens Clothing ?We pull from the TOP of our tanks.
Our plastic feed tube is SEVERAL inches off the bottom.
We ALLOW Gravity to work FOR us.
When I fist left the Delco board, I was appalled by what I saw.
I saw this SAME person recommending 3/8 hose.
HOW many pumps did HE cook for his followers by telling them it was OK to use such restrictive hose ?
As far as roller pumps go, Farmers use them all the time with undissolved stuff in the tank.
ASK any farmer ?
But a strainer is always best.
The Delevan is a good pump for a 12 volt pump.
It is widely distributed.
