Hey all,
I was curious if anyone has any experience with Trunk Pumps.
I think $3K is a bit expensive, so does anyone know of any good alternatives?
I am not oppose to (re)learning how to weld and making one from scratch to save $$$. Best I can tell I would need the following:
- Self Priming Pump 2" suction (rated for 20HP)
- Reversing gear box (apperently water pumps spin counter clockwise)
- Much angle iron
- Cat. 1 3pt Blank
- Drive shaft
I am interested in the project because last spring my entire neighborhood flooded with the melting snow an one heavy rain. I am think I will be able to save myself and the neighbors some $$$. Two houses down had 5 feet of standing water for two weeks.
