Pumps for the FBN products?

Question

Every chemical supplier around let’s me use chemical pumps for the totes. Do you all own your own pumps?  Where’s the best place to get them?  What size fittings does the tote have?  1.5” camlock?

Answer

Bought my own. Farm chem. 2” camlock.

Answer

Check Dultmeier sales.  I try to keep some adapters on hand. I’ve found 3 different threads on totes. Most have 2 in cam lock so that’s what you put on the pump. Some have 2 in buttress thread and a few have pipe thread. They sell adapters for each to go straight to cam lock

Answer

Haven’t used a pump on a tote in 10yrs. Didn’t know guys still used them. Went to induction systems and don’t ever want to go back to pumps.

Answer

I agree with ***** and ****. We shop both FarmChem and Dultmeier. We are setup on 2" camlocks all the way through our system so it is easy to configure our system depending on the circumstance. We also have several adapters because we found that some totes (shuttles) come with a 2" camlock already in place and some have threads only. We have used the SHURflo 110 and 12 volt 2" pumps. We like them because kits are available to rebuild them if necessary. One odd thing has happened - a couple of the back flow valve flappers installed in some totes have come loose and plugged our pumps. It didn't hurt the pump but was hard to diagnosis the first time it happened.
