Is this heavy duty enough to use for a flush line on an ag pump, 20 psi for approx 1 minute? Is it clear enough to see dirty water? Thanks.

Sorry... im not sure. It's strong enough for a ferret to run through, though :-) and yes you could see dirty water. It might b.e hazy a little to see through but is pretty clear.

I have not used it as such, but judging from the way the product behaves, I would not use it for anything heavy-duty. I use it on smudges, fingerprints, and light soil, and it is excellent.

I have a pump that pushes out 2500 gph for my pond. I also have another pump pushing out 4000 gph on a different filter for a waterfall and river. I was having some clarity issues with just the larger pump so I bought the TetraPond 26596 and within 1 week the 3000 gallon pond was crystal clear. I am extremely happy with the results. Good luck to you, I know you will not be disappointed.

I have used this for roots. It will keep your pipes clear but if you have a root ball like I did the size of a softball it won't do anything to it. It is great for preventative maintenance but won't unclogg drains that have a large root infestation. I rented the big sewer snake from home depot, then use this every two to three months and have been root free for 2 years. Good luck

As a Civil Engineer I specify this for sewage pumping chambers as a high water alarm if the pump fails. It goes in the pump tank, not the septic tank.

Yes and No. You need to check what the PPM is. The 500 GPD states that it is good for up to 1000 PPM. You may need a pre-filter system and perhaps a UV. I have very dirty water that mixes with ocean water. That's what I did and I have 3 of them and very happy with them.

A clogged drain depends on the water clarity I have used a hose to send spurts of water to help clear a path and clean the lens with no problems but never fully submerge the unit as yet. I use mine mainly to find breaks in line or look for tree roots sticking thru. I clear clog then look for where it got hung up.

My pond is small I use the spray nozzle not sure how many gph you get with that. I do like the filter pain to clean.

I think it would work for a much longer outage than that. I'm not sure what your pump is rated in gpm vs. basepump gpm, but as long as they're close, you should be fine.

Don't know the answer to that since we are on well water. I doubt it though. It's a very simple filter. Not fine or well-fitted. Works good for sediment.

My main purpose was to keep rust from forming in my steam system. Does it work? The color coding is genius. No more guessing or using litmus paper. It takes awhile and multiple flushing, but the water in the glass is the ideal color and did notice less bouncing in the guage.

I use this filter on my hose when using my pressure washer. It keeps small particles from clogging the machine or nozzles but it is not fine enough to filter out very suspended particles (ie cloudy water). You would need a much finer filter than this. Think of it as more like a strainer than a filter.

I think its just designed to save water and it does. I get good flushes on the no. 1 flush. I even have flushed solid waste at times on the no. 1 flush. I think its OK as far as I'm concerned. I think to do better you'd have to invest on a whole new commode.

it should work fine. if it is an oil base or water it will work. you should turn down the flow setting all the way. make sure you shake the hell out of it (stain). i did an out door fence that took 3.5 gallons without any clogging. make sure to use mineral spirits for clean up it really dirties up the gun. hope this helps

If you have a water line which is the "waste water" you can use this pump. I like it because it's not an electrical pump.Make sure you get the right model to fit your GPD rating on your water filter.

The first part of my response is like Hugo's. The 2nd part of my response is that it didn't work for my clogged line. It had very poor results from the stream of water to the size of the stream. It was a very poor product that sits in my truck box unused and never will be.

Yes, it is diluted in tap water. I was able to cover a 20ft x 4ft area using a spray gun.
