Drum Pumps are a great device for safely and accurately decanting acid and a range of other everyday agrichemicals and solutions used in hydroponics.
The plastic drum pumps are resistant to a wide range of acid, alkaline, caustic, and chlorine based chemicals, oils, crop chemicals, diesel and liquid fertilisers.
Simply remove the lid of the container you wish to decant from and drop the Drum Pump stem into it and begin pumping the handle. The liquid is then drawn up the stem and discharged from a spout into the container you are decanting into.
The drump pumps do not use a piston or vaccuum mechanism to work and discharge liquid on both the downward and upward stroke of the pump handle.
A safety measure device is able to be connected to the drum pump to allow exact quantities of liquid to be discharged into a sealed measuring device without any splashing. This is exactly what commercial growers need for safely decanting pH corrector solutions.
The Drum Pumps also come with a threaded adaptor fitting which can be screwed onto the outlets of most commonly available containers, jerry cans or drums to provide a completely sealed and splash free operation.
