Do you have any slick line available to you? Rocks like to tumble through rubber hoses creating more friction thus causing higher pressure...and they slide through pipe---easier push... I know it's not practical to roll around town with 200' of 3" slick line on a line pump - so I understand why sometimes it's not used. After reading another post regarding this pour, I know you had some time to plan...so this planning time is where I would've prepared for the job and loaded as much slick line as I could... if you don't have slick line, I understand that too... you use what ya got. I just like to work smarter not harder - even if it's not me doing the work...it's the pump - I still like to make it's job easier. I'm glad your job was successful. The concrete contractor, J&S is a good company with a good group of guys to be working with. They'll help you out if you need it. |
