0 PLD 14 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 No, but having switched to a deckster I like bypass pumps much better than demand pumps. They products a much stronger, more even spray pattern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, bypass pumps are great! Unless, of course, you forget about the bypass and decide to use your gas powered roller pump (which is set up for roofs) to spray some sodium hydroxide on a horribly oil caked drive-through lane at a Burger King! I stuck a siphon hose into a 15 gallon drum of some degreaser I had laying around, fired up the pump, and started spraying. Got about 1/2 way done and the spray stopped. Figured I was out of gas (I think it has a 3 ounce gas tank) so I walked back to the trailer. Pump still running, but the drum is empty! There's no WAY I sprayed 15 gallons of degreaser...OOPS, forgout about the bypass line. I now have a nice mix of 20 gallons of chlorine, about 9 gallons of sodium hydroxide, and 20 gallons of water in my chlorine tank!!! Ugh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've ended up with some pretty nasty brews myself because of simple oversights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, luckily I was able to use about 1/2 of it on various greasy tile sidewalks and curbing...had to do all 4 of the BK's this week getting ready for some sort of corporate inspection.
