You will need to supply the deep cycle marine battery, in-line fuse holder and spare fuses, couple feet of wire with connectors, heavy duty 30 amp switch and 1.5" length of SCH 40 PVC just longer than the height of your batch tank.
The only difference between the red kit and blue kit is the color of the hose!
Do not use Teflon tape on this pump. No warranty on this pump. 8 gauge wire must be used. No alligator clips used with this pump. Use a minimum 875 CCA deep cycle marine battery.
All 12 Volt pumps use more than twice the chemical, make you work twice as slow and offer a very short life span. We recommend that you research the air diaphragm pump system before pulling the trigger on this kit.
Rex, our Pump Guru, invented the design of our PVC slotted chemical tank filter. The filter is composed entirely of PVC and will not rust or decompose or shatter into small pieces after constant submersion into a pressure washer's chemical tank or roof wash mix. The filter made to be assembled to fit exactly into the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket, various drum sizes and tanks. It is assembled using PVC cleaner, a de-burrer, and clear PVC cement.
In order to prevent the filter from rising to the top of the tank, a length of PVC pipe can be used as a sleeve to slip over the connecting suction hose. The inner diameter of the PVC pipe should be slightly wider than the outside diameter of the suction hose. You may use a clean piece of 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" ID PVC scrap pipe to slip over the hose before it is connected to the 12 Volt pump.
To figure out how long to cut the pipe, place the suction hose assembly with the uncut PVC pipe sleeve into your main chemical tank or drum and allow the filter to rest horizontally on the bottom. Mark and cut the sleeve so that it is just a bit higher than the opening of the tank. Use a heat gun to 'bell' the top end of the sleeve and a grinder or drum sander to soften the edges of the sleeve.
Semi-permanent fittings on the low pressure side of a system attaching PVC to PVC should be assembled using non-drying liquid Teflon or 'pipe dope'. Teflon tape should never be used.
