Barrell pump question

[ldick]

I need to get a pump to transfer cold syrup from a 55 gallon barrell to my bottler? I see several differnt kinds (piston, rotary, siphon, etc.) and would appreciate advice on which works best. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Why not use your filter press? I put mine on bypass and 20 psi of air will pump 60* syrup no problem.

Yea, I thought about that but it is cleaned up and put away for the season. Also a bit bulky to deal with but certainly is one option.

That is exactly what I do. It eliminates the need for another pump.
