Pump is doing good, filtered several batches with it now. DudaDiesel and others suggested a ball valve to slow the flow into the bag filter which I did. Also suggested going with a larger (7 inch diameter) instead of the 4 inch that I have in order to handle a larger flow. Will do that next...

I'm wondering, if you pinch down the flow with a ball valve you will increase the pressure on the pump. That is what broke mine. My filter got plugged and I continued pumping and built up too much pressure. I knocked a hole in part of the diaphram. I think I will valve the outlet side in a way to divert some of the fluid back to the suction side. That way I will be able to control the flow without building up the pressure too much.

that sounds like a real good idea, kinda like plumbing a centerfuge. The guy @ Duda diesel said that if too much pressure built up, the pump is thermally protested and will shut down.
