The perfect pump is air, how many gallons are you brewing??? Air is the best mover of water... SStorch Mime-Version: 1.0 I have 25 acres of grapes to treat and will use a 1,000 litre (approx. 250 gallon) tank to brew in. Due to time constraints etc. I'd like to brew enough to do the whole vineyard in one go.
I do have a continuous duty air pump (heavy duty) and currently only one 12" pond aeration style air stone. I planned to order small bubble diffusers too. Have listers had better experience using aeration hose ? I will need to pump to get the tea out as it would be a real task to lift the 1,000 litre poly tank higher than my sprayer. Another question though - my sprayer has a diaghram pump what PSI are people spraying at ? using T Jet nozzles and swirl plates and size and pattern are you spraying with ? >Could the original poster please repost the link to vortex pumps ? thanks >I am looking for the "perfect" pump for my compost tea brewer Laura - You do not need to pump compost tea to brew it. You do need to pump it out of the barrel, if you want to filter it in the process, but you don't need to even do that if you just open a drain at the bottom of the tank and let gravity do the work. What you do need is an excellent airpump and excellent aeration hoses that will infuse the water with oxygen and agitate the compost at the same time. None of the better brewers circulate the tea itself. -Allan Mime-Version: 1.0 Laura Sabourin Feast of Fields Inc Demeter Certified Vineyard & Farm http://www.ragdolls.net/vineyard.htm Ragenesque Ragdoll Cattery http://www.ragdolls.net/ragenesq.htm R R # 1 St Catharines, Ontario L2R 6P7
