Do they make a reversible pump

Jyetman · 11/26/2017, 05:08 PM

I have a kalk bucket on top of my tank which gets automatically refilled when a float switch activates. So I have all kinds of hoses and wires which makes it difficult to clean the bucket. I like to have a reversible pump so I can mix-up the kalk remains and then be able to switch the pump back to suck out the slur mix. Any ideas be helpful.

The only veritable pumps that I am aware of are peristaltic ones. Both the Neptune Dos and the GHL Doser 2 and Doser 2.1 can run both forward and back and can be programmed to go both directions but because of their slower flow rates, I am not sure that would do what you are looking for.

Sounds like a 2 pump situation to me.
1 to mix & 1 to pump.
