How to keep the splatter off of your pump when folding up to move or wash out using a single ended tip hose.

You need:

1.      piece of bicycle inner-tube about 2” wide

2.    shop rag, plastic, old hat, whatever

Suck the sponge – water wash – leave the concrete in the pipes

(your choice). Place the whatever over the end of the hose and snap on the piece of inner-tube over the whatever and live happily ever after. NO drips / NO mess / NO problem!

When you are ready to go again, snap off, shake the whatever and put it on top of your outrigger for next time.

or stick a dry sponge in there. ;~)

Good tip Bob-

When moving onsite to set-up again, everytime i've kinked the hose, put a sponge in the end of the hose and folded up the boom - there's always a little drip.  I've timed myself, and i've found that in the time it takes me to mess with shaking out the hose and kinking it and putting the 'no-drip' sponge in the end...i can simply remove the hose and put a cap on the elbow.  If I'm running a 5-4 reducer, i've got a different cap with a 2' rod welded to it so when the booms folding up, the rod catches in the cradle for the hose. 

Another toy Bob !
