Anyone have a water sight tube that you can't see threw? My schwing had one, I couldn't see what the water level was? So, I figured out a cheap way to fix it. Stopped by the fleet store and bought a 3/4" foam fishing bobber. Unscrewed the top of the hose and dropped it in. Wa la, Now once again I can see the water level. |

LOL Alto, I figured you were gonna say you just replaced the plastic tube so you could see in it better . I look at between 150 and 200 differant concrete pumps per year and I have came across only a few that have used a similiar trick. Its simple but yet so effective for a visual idenification of your water level.Good tip Alto |
