Cleaning your All-Flo pump and hose?
Permalink  
 


what is the most efficient way to rinse the cleaners out of your pump and 200 feet of hose.
 
My concern is that if you rinse it out with water back into the chem tank the chem tank will get diluted with water.

I run a T valve and just shut off the hose from my tank and open the other valve and take that hose a drop it in a bucket with water! just remember when you go to spray a roof to swith the valves back and run it back to your tank for a bit so you dont have water come out first on the roof!

I agree w/ Eric. The T-Valve re-directing the pull from a clean water source is pretty simple and efficient. However, from understanding, most who run the All Flo dont even worry about rinsing...is that correct?

Zeke, you are correct! The All-Flo KE038-B3 was designed by All-Flo's engineers specifically for use with SH! The pump has a 5 year warranty. You do not have to rinse. However, rinsing out your pump can't hurt.

So pump is fine, what about hoses?

The pump will be fine, but I do run water through the hose into the mix tank. I mix on the job so we add water at the job anyway. Hope this helps

I always rinse at least 5 gal of water though the pump at the end of the day to be safe. I just rinse it back to the tank. It doesn't dilute it that much.
