hi all,
I have one of these...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Adjustabl...K_BOI_FarmingEquipment_RL&hash=item3f044174d8
And I wish to use a bilge pump to push the water through it...
http://www.sipuk.co.uk/tools/info_SIP06819.html
I am concerned about the level of pressure pushing against the float valve when the float has risen and blocked off the water flow
I have phoned the manufacturers of the bilge pump and all the info they can give me is it pumps 233 litres a minute
In a normal situation if the float valve was connected to a main pressure pipe then the pressure would allways be pushing against it when the float was closed.
When using a bilge pump as I understand it due to the way the motor works if the outlet pipe blocks the water then it circulates back on itself or it dosent push anymore water against the blocked output pipe?
I know running a bilge pump dry is a definiate no no but they are ok if the output is blocked...according from a tech guy I spoke to a while ago anyway
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks
