  • Another pump query

    Hi all,

    Has anybody used a Sumake QB70 water pump pictured below?




    If so, how does it perform? Is it suitable for an Appleseed reactor? It looks like a generic, mass produced Chinese number. I'm assuming it would be as good as a more expensive brand for Biodiesel production.

    Any comments appreciated.

    Hi GM,

    This is the exact same pump as I have on my processor, very cheap on Ebay.
    Pictures of my setup can be seen here:

    It has been working fine for a year now. You just have to make sure you gravity prime the pump as it has no suction when its full of air, but this is typical of all centrigal pumps. Seems to handle the temperature and the chemicals ok so far. No leaks.
