I don’t want to say the name of the company but we have seen many of their pumps use two ended hoses as a tip hose and now we see one of their ads in the ACPA magazine on page 33 of the summer 2008 issue with a two ended tip hose. They show an operator with a sponge holding a two ended tip hose. What is up with this guy. I know this will get deleted but I just had to say something. I think this guy used to be the past president of the ACPA he should know better. I am sure he does.

Ease up guys. Their heart is in the right place.

Yes, I agree that each and every pic' be reviewed before it is put in the mag for content and safety violations. IF they want to set the standard then they need to step up to the line and abide by the rules that they have set. But as to the mag... it can not be an easy job to check out all the pics.

Vasa is right. I just looked at the mag.

I got an email today and here is what it said.

I was told that the Enviro-Systems picture was staged.......only as a demonstration of product.  The operator that posted the comment wouldn't know if it was staged, or if the pump was used on a system pour (in which case a double-ended hose is proper).  He's jumping to a conclusion without checking the facts, and disparaging an individual and a company wrongly.

It's a perfect example of how many guys "assume" that new pumps come from the factory with a 5" DE hose.

I've recently been told otherwise? Though I believe thats how they used to be. Other manufacturers?
