No concrete to pump so why not

One 47mtr putz and a 38 mtr jun jin. Made sure we greased the S-tube often

Very nice, thanks for the pictures

I tell ya you Curtis island fellas do it hard

Easy clean up :) 

Please tell me what you are doing

There's been a lot of rain on the eastcoast of Aussie so our job site flooded if the boys can't get to work we don't work either. To speed things up we used our pumps in reverse to suck out the water, pumps earning money, I'm getting paid and its better than sitting in room back at camp.

We've recent'y seen large amounts of snow (over 6 feet) here in Saskatchewan and I'm pretty sure we're going to have lots of rain this spring as well and have seen this done with a pump before. My question is do you just drop your hose into the water to be moved and start back stroking or would you need to prime the system forward with water then start back stroking?

i try to keep the boom as low as possible and fill the hopper with water. then i give it a few forward strokes then put it in reverse. some people go flat out but i have found that about half speed and flow is more than enough. if you are worried about sucking up something that might get stuck in your boom get a ball catcher and weld a few more rings on it then put that either straight onto the end of your boom or at the end of a double ender hose. it takes time to get it pumping throught.
