I have a 12v transfer pump that feeds my pressure washer. When it’s freezing, I hook the transfer pump to my 60 gallon tank and let it run all day. Moving water can freeze but it’s gotta pretty damn cold and I haven’t had an issue doing it this way for a couple years. I considered trying some rv antifreeze, hooking up a power inverter and running a bucket heater into my tank to heat the water, and I’m trying to get some permission to fill up my tank at the ready mix plant since they have scorching hot water on hand.

@ConcretePumpingService I've got a 120 gallon tank, and a 6gpm 12v transfer pump feeding my pressure washer as well. I put 2 gallons of RV antifreeze in a full tank a few days ago and cycled it through all the lines. It got down to 8-10° for 3 nights in a row with a high of 30-35° daytime, and nothing froze. Lowe's had it on sale for $4/gallon so I bought 4 cases (16 gallons). Just fyi, it worked without having to recirculate it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t think I would have been as cocky if it was a normal mix. 95% of the time I could prime with just water on shotcrete. A short 75’ and the mix talked me into it! 🤣

I got called for just the pump to begin with but they called me a day later and asked if I could get a pool crew of at least 4 to shoot and cut and 2 of the 4 to finish (I volunteered myself to run nozzle if need be but I never had to). So I agreed to pump, supply a pool crew of 4 with 2 of them being able to finish and tools (trowels, scrapers, etc.) PB supplied 2 more finishers and like 6-8 laborers.

Absolutely! Another perk of filming yourself while you work.

Right when I didn’t need him!

🤣🤣🤣

There was probably 14 guys working on the pool and only 6 of them knew how to shoot/scrape/finish. The other 8 were just laborers. Still amazed we got it done in one day and it looked as good as it did. There weren’t really any plans and there wasn’t much of a meeting to bring everyone on the same page.

I thought it was pretty neat that he could run both at the same time and the speed at which they come out didn’t change!

We were talking about a 20m and using it as a line pump as well! Someday I’ll be able to get my hands on a controller and run one 😁

We are definitely going to make that happen this coming year 💪

I’d say!

Ahhhh man! What a bummer! At least you’ll be set when you need them 🤣

Blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while!

Heck yeah 👊 I’ve been wanting one for awhile! Driver left one at a job site one time but the concrete guys said they would give it back since they see them every other day .

Nothing beats free shit you can actually use regularly.

The universe rewards those who pay attention!

I’ve found TONS of stuff on the side of the road! I always got my eyes peeled.

@ glad you’ve gotten it also look into State sales what people are selling out of their house, including the home of known a couple people that’s passed away and varies of different ways and when they didn’t sell everything a couple times people has given me whatever was left except the house or anything really really big like appliances or look into buying abandoned storage buildings or also people that own the storage buildings would probably pay people to clean out the storage units if they’re not selling the units already in my favorite is the holidays at the big change stores stuff that go on sale or stuff that was bought from businesses like what I’m talking about big chain stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s and it was returned because it wasn’t like how the people thought it was when they bought it. It was the one that they thought they needed I’ve heard of people doing that buying the same thing what they have at home and switch them out, you gotta be careful when you’re buying stuff that’s been returned, but you can buy it at discount price because it’s open box policy the store can’t sell to you for the same price after someone else’s bought it and returned it or sometimes also businesses that’s going out of business. I bought some appliances like five years ago from a business year in Huntington where I live called Mac & dave’s I paid the deposit to get the stuff delivered to my house made a couple payments. Didn’t know it at the time, but Mac & Dave was going out of business. One day, I called to make my payment towards my appliances, and I was told by the people that answered the phone that they wasn’t taking no more payments on the stuff that I bought from them I could keep it and there was no one else that would be able to take my payment and I actually went to the business and looked for myself and yes they were closed. It was a pawnshop here in Huntington. That’s been open since the early 70s and these newer mom and pop, smaller pawnshops was taking anything and offering more money, but these newer ones didn’t have the stuff like what Mac & Dave did and they didn’t deliver and all of them did not offer financing like what Dave did and they didn’t have appliances and furniture that was all new and they were like a small furniture store, electronics and appliances plus a Pawnshop after a couple times of doing business there, they would always remember your name if you brought business

I’ve been wanting one for a while!

I’ve found a handful of 25ft 2” ratchet straps! Once found a GoPro but it was super old, like a GoPro 3 or 4.

You caught me. I threw it out and made myself jog a quarter mile on the interstate just for a video.

You got me. I took the time to throw it out, drive around, forget where “I dropped it”, drive 1/4 mile by it and make myself go back and grab it just for a video.

My eyes are always looking for ground scores! Happy holidays!

Oh that would be a waayyyyy better find!

👊

I’ve seen them once or twice 😎

@@ConcretePumpingServicelol. With a truck full of pump hoses and slick line, I would think so.

Darn right!

Thank you! Hands down most versatile pump out there. I think upgrading from the Olin is a great idea! Remember when you switch to a S tube or rock valve pump, you won’t be able to fully washout into the truck. You’ll always have some extra sitting in the bottom.

@@ConcretePumpingServiceniceee now I understand and it really makes sense i appreciate the little advice !

Was that Cressit you were spraying the pump down with? I've been using it and it works pretty good.

Spattercote 100 Xtra!

@ConcretePumpingService yep, I've got a 55 gallon drum of it. Not cheap, but it definitely works!

3/4” crushed rock is hit or miss. The plant has to have that mix dialed in. I have 2 videos “pumping concrete like the big dawgs” and “pouring rain but that doesn’t stop a 300’ pump”, that is all at one job (ended up pumping 650ish yards) and that was a 3/4” crushed quartz mix. The mix I’ve used in the past is a 3/8” crushed quartz chip mix. It tends to be about $25-35$ more per yard depending on what supplier they use. Recently I’ve been getting a 1/2” crushed quartz mix that has been pumping beautifully and is now my go to mix to tell contractors to order. Now if we get a natural stone mix, I’ve pumped 1” natural stone multiple times and it has went well every time.

@ Thank you for responding Sounds like my pump is getting weak, l have to put the mix at 8 inch slump to be able to go through the 4” to 3” reducer but now on I’m going to ask my costumers to get 3/8

The other profile to comment on this video, Mud Demon. Go reply to his comment and ask away! I am not sure if they are available for purchase yet.

Your job is easy ..show up lay out the hose press the button...watch the guys run the hose...nothing to it....

Only difference between what he considers what I do easy and what he does hard is he holds the hose. Literally the only difference.

The last thing I need to do is add another size. My garage only has so much room!
