  Pump reviewer PELL From: Sioux Center, IA Application: Process application Average GPM: 60
 

These Mud Sucker's are used at our company to pump paint, stain waste, purge water and wastewater, containing paint flakes and other solids from holding tank totes. We get substantial life out of our diaphragms and flappers and the operation of the pump is flawless.
