Hi all, my next model will probably involve squirting water, as in a fire pump about 12 inches above the water surface..
I have a pump unit which is a small 380 size motor driving a gear type pump but it needs to be primed by sucking water through it.
I remember using an old type car water pump that I gave up on as it used to stick. It had a 'rubber' impeller.
I have not checked again what might be available from the car spares shops though.
I built a successful system in a Bremen 9 about 12 years ago, now no longer with me, which used an orange coloured pump and that worked very well, but I don't remember who made it.
Does anyone have some simple systems that prime easily?
Can anyone recommend a good electric water pump?
Regards Roy
