FAQ

How much liquid can the pump handle per minute?

The pump can transfer approximately 2 to 3 gallons per minute depending on the viscosity of the fluid and the height of the drum. Thinner liquids such as water‑based solutions flow faster, while thicker chemicals may require a slightly slower rate to maintain consistent suction.

Is the pump safe for use with acidic solutions?

Yes. The polypropylene construction is chemically resistant to most acids, including sulfuric and hydrochloric acids, making the pump suitable for a variety of industrial cleaning and processing tasks.

Can I use the pump to dispense gasoline?

No. For safety reasons the pump is not rated for gasoline. It is designed for diesel, fuel oil, kerosene, and other non‑spark‑igniting fuels. Using gasoline could create a fire hazard and void the warranty.

What drum sizes are compatible with this pump?

The pump fits standard 5‑gallon to 55‑gallon drums and barrels. The telescoping suction tube adjusts to accommodate different drum depths, ensuring a secure seal and efficient fluid extraction.

How do I clean the pump after use?

Disassemble the pump by loosening the suction tube and spout. Rinse all components with a compatible cleaning solvent or water, then allow them to air dry before reassembly. Regular cleaning prevents residue buildup and maintains optimal performance.
