Do not pump your bio with the Magnesol in it in any vane, gear or impeller style pump! Either use a diaphragm pump, or better yet let it settle and then pump the bio off the top. Pumping bio with Magnesol suspended in it will result in a "shearing" of the Magnesol into finer particles that will make it extremely hard to remove.......

Fabman- I understand that. I am just trying to figure out how uguys pump ur bio off the top. My pump wouldn't get suction. Just wanted to see what u guys used

I use an air powered diaphragm pump.........

i just dont get how you are using that with the magnsol and not picking it up off the bottom.

i was planning on getting the pump from dudadisel and connecting 3/4" hose to it and sucking the finished product essentially off the magnesol, when i saw the magnesol i would stop. is that what you guys do? just seems like a lot of work.

have it hooke to a pvc pipe that I lower to above the level of the magnesol. Per another suggestion, I am going to make a p-trap on the end so it draw down rather than up....
