Bit the bullet and bought a Gould 2ST 2HP 230/volt. All 316 Stainless steel housing and a SS Impeller (Food Grade). Going to be used as a transfer pump (Trucks to holding tanks at sugarhouse) Replacing a gas powered pump. I'm also putting a large cartridge filter in-line before entering my volume meter. Its takes a 20" x 6" filter. Thinking I will start with a 50 micron, and go from there (RO has a 10micron). Instead of guessing when the filter needs to be changed, I'm going to install a pressure gauge just before the filter. Then all I need to do is take a pressure reading when the filter is new and that will be my baseline. As the filter plugs the pressure should rise letting me know when it's time to change.
My target flow is 100gpm. That is what my gas powered does through the flow meter without the cartridge filter, using a long bag filter on the discharge end into tank. I gave my supplier all the lengths and dimensions of my piping set-up and also TDH. They said the 2HP 2ST is what I would need.
I think it will be a good $700 investment.
- Ease of use
- No more gas or gas can
- No exhaust fumes
- More streamline look and operation
Now, lets hope it arrives soon.
Anybody running something similar?
