Squeeze pumps are gr8 I ran one for years every 500 yds flip your pump tube always carry a spare with you just in case, the maint. on them isn't much at all very easy to maintain it will make you $$$ just gotta watch the harsh mixes.http://concretesqueezepumps.com/n this is a gr8 site if you want to learn more

We have sold several used ones and a new one a few years ago. All the guys that own and operate these pumps love them. Look for a pump with a minimum pumping tube size of 4.5" and with a vacuum system. I reckon the best ones are the pumps with 5" pumping tube and vacuum system.

sqeezies are ok if they are looked after.get to know how good your tube is and know when its close to worn so you can change it when your not on the job.

Whats the vacuum for? Is that to suck back? I'm guessing water washing is impossible with these things, Too tall tried to call you a couple months ago, needed 3" slick pipe I thought you had for sale, send me your number again, I think you said your keyboard was missin a number

The vacuum is inside the drum so that it brings the hose back into shape. I think waterwashing would be a very simple way to clean them.

Pump the hopper empty , put a sponge or 2 in the intake and pump out all mud... The customer get all mud in the formwork . If You want to have shiny pipes inside , 1 sponge and water and pump it out... We have "only" have 1 pumpmixer with squeezepump , 4" "squeeze-hose" and 4"boompipe . It was a good PUMI !
