Nearly the same as last time but with exposed this time.  32 mpa with -50 kg of rock and +50 kg of seewee sand per meter.  it still looks good but it pumps a lot better. 

 I did the plastic trick with the clamps to hold back the slurry and this time I punched a hole in the top for air release.  That worked even better.  7, 3inch hoses, and we went all the way to the last 5 feet of the last hose.  A few hits and we were going strong. 

I THINK, but I'm not sure, that the build up of rock caused some  pumping troubles but I reversed it 2 or 3 strokes and it cleares up most of the times.

You guys are to funny LOL You call that down hill? I was on a pour back in 1981 that was 700 feet on a steep hill. Everytime the pump shifted it was being pull down hill. I had to tie it off to a loader. It was so steep that i could center the gate's and it would just run down on its own. Now that is steep LOL. Rich
