Some are ok Are there other pump selection criteria (excluding economics) that we are trying to satisfy (I dont have my notes in front of me)?

There are also diaphrgm pumps available at much higher cost. These pumps are desireable for application systems when the flow is restricted by nozzles and operator controls Search the web. Many choices. Hypro -- Fimco and others. They have diaphragm pumps that do not need air to drive them. If you are in an orchard pumping out you need a gas engine direct drive diaphragm system they are available. . Bob

plastic container, on a trailer, on to the orchard ground.

Thanks Fred
