Hey guys i was wondering when you use the t pipe to eliminate surge while pumping, when you blow out or suck back,  is it a good idea to eliminate it or leave it on? If i do leave it on will it make my pump lose power for clean up?

Thanks guys.

thanks speedy for the reply, it makes sence if it reduces surge IT would reduce suction too  , thanks again !! I like all your coments you are pretty sharp ;

it takes perhaps one extra stroke to create the negative pressure inside the surge 't'

Speedy,

Where does it go? (the neg' press')

The (boom or pipe) system is closed and every time the sponge moves it diminishes the pressure... when it stops (sponge) the - press increases / or the pressure decreases until the sponge once again is overcome by the - press and is caused to move to further diminish the chamber. At that point any movement (there isn't any) by the slug of concrete in the "t" would have a momentary infinitesimal (doesn't even happen) positive effect by increasing the size of the chamber thus lowering the pressure
