I have my ibc collecting rain and it runs through the di using gravity but it takes ages to fill the drums.

can anyone give me a link to a reasonable pump to pump the water through the di to speed things up a bit?

thanks

 
Did u decide on one?also will u use a inline filter on the hose before the di and u don't want the pump to be to powerful to get the most out your resin

 
That's why it is also best to use an inline filter and a half inch hose on the transfer system if going through a di tank. If the flow is still too strong you could add a gate type valve to vary the flow you want.

stevie I haven't decided on one. im not sure what type of filter im looking for but I guess it must fit a garden hose.

I don't know what type of pump to suit the pressure so I don't destroy the resin.

you any ideas yourself that could be of help or some links?

 
I fink a 240 v submersible they have them screwfix just a cheapo will be ok.some garden hose to connect to pump and a garden hose filter from b and q!test first see how flow is out off

@Smurf I seen a caravan water pump 14ltrs a min would that be ok?

 
Lol are u doing it off phone or iPad if so scroll down to bottom click on desktop site for some reason the mobile version doesn't work right

 
theres a good few on ebay steve but I don't know what one to buy in case its to powerful and destroys my resin

 
I'm in the same boat pal I have harvested six full ibc tanks and with more rain in its way now need to start pumping it out but water pumps really are not my forte!!im also unsure what pump would be best because like you said to quick through the vessel and resin will not last!too slow and it will take forever ive tried researching but no definite answer.im actually looking on pad now trying to find one
