    Confused In Search of an affordable slurry pump.

    I am looking for an affordable slurry pump for an Acuity cylinder machine. Anyone know where I can get one instead of the manufacture who wants an arm and a leg for one?
    Thanks,
    Boltsfan

    and then get a clear rubbermaid tote that fits more appropriately in the space under the machine (this is if you've currently got the pump/bucket lid combo)

    Check with Barry Sheppard www.usedlabs.com

    or Mary Larsen 320-202-8704

    or Pat McCoy and/or Glenn Flugge, both are on the members list.

    The Little Giants are good for edger coolants, but not for abrasive slurries.

    I've used Little Giant pumps before and they are great. The only problem is that the warranty is void as soon as you pump something other than water with them. At least that was the case in the past.

    I will second Fezz's recommendation for Grainger. Those folks have everything.
    A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!

    I used to get a garden pump from ACE hardware that came with a one year no-questions-asked warranty. I'd burn one up in about 6 months, take it back with receipt and they would exchange it with no fuss. This was not a problem seeing how I have an ACE 5mins. from my office.

    Thank you everyone

    I have researched some of these already, I will check with Little Giant pumps or Barry I think. I have dealt with Barry before and he is great.
    Thanks again,
