Up graded out filter press to a full bank 10" with the air diaphragm pump. I used it the other day and it worked flawless. So nice to be able to controll flow and pressure.
Question: is there any maintenance required for this pump?
I ask because 16 years ago I ran a water well drill rig and we used the same style pump ( only much much bigger) to pump drilling fluid down the drill hole. We used to have trouble with them freezing up and can remember using air tool oil and sometimes some non toxic glycol to keep things moving. Just wondering if any lubrication is needed?
