Topic: DIY Cool Suit Pump Problem
I'm using a rule model 24 360 gph bilge pump. I'm fairly certain the pump is cavitating badly when starting up. I often have to cycle the power rapidly in order to get the flow moving. When starting after the first fill (so from a dry condition) the pump will just spin with no pumping at all.
I know others have done this successfully, so for those who have what pump are you using? I need to know pretty soon 'cause this one is about to have an accident. If anyone wants a brand new Rule 360 gph pump it will be in the woods behind my house with a few ball peen hammer marks on it. It will be lying beside a full set of robo-grips and most of a homelite chainsaw.
