Eureka! Ready Built Pumps!
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2011 12:16 am
After some engineering problems with my two previous ideas, I've decided to look around for pumps that could suit our purposes.
Note: These pumps are self priming
Attention!: these pumps are untested for our high pressure purposes.
This first one is from ACE Hardware called William H. Harvey 093606 Pump Kit Hand Crank
It has a plastic construction and and a pistol grip. It moves 4 qts. a min.
Advantages: Lightweight, can be adjusted for right/left-handed persons
Disadvantages: Handle is removable , Site says nothing about durability or ability to handle pressure. it's $40.00+
Selling Point: Its got a PISTOL GRIP!!!!!!! (sorry, i can be such a kid)
Another thing I came across in my search was something called Drill Powered Pumps.
Wayne WDP21S "Chuckmaster" Drill Powered Pump
This little guy has the following stats:
Garden hose thread
360 GPM max.
Up tp 10 head
Peggable poly bag with header card
Now i'm not sure what the last two mean but garden hose threads are something that can be dealt with but 360 gal Per min? That pretty impressive.It's small so that nice. But I'm not sure how to Connect a handle to that thing. Perhaps someone with better hardware skills than I can figure this out. This one is cheap at $6.25. Worth a try.
The last pump I'll be showing you is another Drill Power Pump,
Jabsco 17215-0000 Drill Pump Kit
Cheaper than the Ace Hand Crank Pump but much more expensive than it's neighbor, the Wayne Pump.
This one got very good reviews on amazon compared to the wayne pump and has hose couplings for easy water reservoir attachment. From what i can see in customer reviews this guy has good durability and good output. It may be our best candidate. It shares one problem with the wayne pump. How to attach a handle....
NOTE: If you do try the two Drill powered pumps with a drill, i insist that it be done in experimentation only and not for play, electrocution is not fun. Just Funny to watch.
If someone does have a way to attach a handle to the drill powered pumps. i would like to hear about it.
If you do try these pumps out I would to hear about that too.
Basically anything you have to say, i appreciate it hahahaha!
