137 dollar dairy bucket washer as releaser

[500592]

I have seen on here before someone using bucket washers as releasers could this one work http://www.portablemilkers.com/catalog/item/1576325/8981486.htm

I don't think that will work. That's just the unit that sprays water, not the actual releaser.

thats not the type you need, i set up one last year and it worked pretty well, was about 200 bucks plus check valves which were less than 20 bucks for the two from home depot. go to this page http://www.partsdeptonline.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi and search for 289701 Bucket Washer and you will see what i mean. it worked great on a bit over 100 taps for me last year and about 18 inches vac but did occasionaly ice up on cold days, but not a big prob overall

I saw those but I was wondering how much shipping was because if it wasn't bad I would probably get one

i dont recall but if it had been unreasonable it woulda stuck in my head! its like and not very big so i wouldnt worry too much

how big is the 289701 Bucket Washer ???

[markct]

its about 6 inch diameter, and i believe about 16 to 18 inches tall, i could get more exact measurements if you need them. it worked well, a few glitches, but plan to use it again this year on a different area
