pumping calcium chloride at home
The legitimate calcium pumps for loading and emptying tractor tires cost $1000. Local dealer does not want to deal with calcium as he is strictly a Rim Guard enterprise. I just want to reuse the calcium in the tires I have to replace and was wondering if anyone used a cheap utility pump that actually worked with this briny solution.

Re: pumping calcium chloride at home
Place around here that fills tires uses an air powered diaphragm pump.
They arent really cheap either, INGERSOLL-RAND/ARO Diaphragm Pump, Santoprene Diaphragm - Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps - 2CAU1|PD03P-ARS-PAA - Grainger Industrial Supply but grainger is about the most expensive place to buy stuff anyway.
Perhaps take a look at ebay and see if you can sag one reasonabally. But I just dont see a small utility pump lasting long.".........there is only one way to find out."

Re: pumping calcium chloride at home
You can buy a little drill pump and use it have done that before spray a bit of oil in when you are done it may even work again if you do that.

Re: pumping calcium chloride at home
Wouldn't have thought a drill pump would worki but I'll try to find a decent one and give it ago. Was a bit concerned at the "speed" of this process with 34 gallons to move with this set up but I see others have moved the same amount. I'll just bring lunch. Thanks for the direction.
