Does water-washing get the deck-pipes clean?

[@randallbernard2074]

We do it into the mixer absolutely no mess at all. And because we don't care what mixer drivers think lol

[@PeterNorman-xd8tr]

I agree with your comments both methods work all depends what job your pumping on and water supply a good video showing pipes clean 👌

[@newrealm9187]

Water washing the 46 schwing is so smooth and effective

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I was surprised at how well it actually cleans the pipes. My biggest issue for us and they way we’re setup, is the time it takes to load the hopper full of water.

[@newrealm9187]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 that’s why i dont do it often unless the mixer has a 150 gallon tank and I know I’m done for the day.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

@@newrealm9187 completely agree. If I’m bombing dirty straight to the next one I just pull one ball and hit the road.

Similar wash out to sponge bucket bucket bucket sponge (that's 15 gal of water I suck back, and the second sponge doesnt leave any drippys behind)

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

What I like about the bucket wash is not having to remove my tapers/hose, just suck it back and go. That being said; there’s always that element of uncertainty when not pulling a ball back after sucking back all the water.

[@bennycastro2190]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 I am with you about the uncertainty

[@styzr]

So if I understood correctly, is the inertia of the falling portions of the boom what gets it clean so that's why you use "A" position and relatively high speed? Do you think it would work with a. Line pump in flat position using hoses?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

There’s plenty of guys who water-wash their line-pumps back into the ready mix truck using a “candy-cane” apparatus. I myself am not experienced enough with the method to really comment on it however. Perhaps those more well-versed in the method could chime in???

Let go to a bigger boom. I haven’t tried it on my 52 haha 😂

[@garlenseong38]

Surprised how clean it is with just water. Instead of using the sponges and balls....

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

As was I. Thought for sure there’d be at least be a few rocks lingering in the deck-pipe.

[@DeruginizCLS]

Can you water wash a line pump? Say it has 150ft of hose still full of crete, can u pump down hopper as much as possible and fill rest with water and pump it out? ( 2.5 inch hose)

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

There’s plenty of guys that do (usually through a “candy-cane” and back onto the mixer. Because we normally run 2” line around here, the chances of transitions the water through are very slim (almost always plugs at the 3”-2” taper. 2.5” and 3” it works much better, in my experience.

[@johnnytyrrell7060]

Sometimes if I was on a job that I chould not wash out on I whould suck back one soft Ball and go to the concrete plant and wash out my Hopper and put the soft Ball into the back bend then fill the Hopper with water in the mixer wash Bay's and just turn the hose over the side of the pump and pump it and I chould fill the Hopper in about 1 Min because of how Good the water supply is

[@greghughey9738]

I just couldn't bring myself to try it on the size pumps I generally run. I'd be terrified I'd fuck something up lol Definitely cool to actually see it really works though. You're a brave soul for sure lol

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Funny thing is, I’ve actually been told that the bigger the boom the better it works as there’s a potentially greater volume of water flushing back down from the boom and into/through the deck pipe… it still makes me nervous every time though 😂😂😂

[@greghughey9738]

@Canadian Concrete Pumper I can follow that logic for sure, but I'm way too nervous to ever try it. You're well aware how expensive 4.6 pipe is lol

@@greghughey9738 it was bad enough on our 40Z, I could only imagine on a big-yardage machine like your 63-5.

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 The sticks on the 63z aren't 10' either, which makes the cost even worse. Even thinking about replacing em makes me cringe

[@johnnytyrrell7060]

How good whould it work with a Putzmeister Pumi pump because we have one and we chould half fill the mixer drum if we where only pumping concrete and then you whould have Lot's of water because our Pumi pump can carry 6 cubic meter's of concrete and it's a 26 meter boom so Lot's of water if it whould work with it.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

It might actually work great seeing as you would essentially be pumping half of your washout right back into the drum.

[@TheIamfredrik]

Hello, watched your waterwash videos 10-20 Times and want to try it my self. But when wash is finished the hopper is full of water.. just thinking out in the blue here. What if you do full procedure ( pump untill water, then 6 strokes back) but then pump forward until it sucks air a couple times then full reverse? My thought is That air slips through deck and First bom like with just Concrete, but after wash its mostly water? Hope you know how i mean! Greetings from sweden!

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Once the water comes through the end of the boom, slam her into reverse for 6 strokes, then back into forward for 3 strokes, then back into reverse for a minimum of 10 strokes. I have a couple of water-wash videos which I’ve posted. The best tutorial is the one in which Michael from Western Concrete Pumping gives me the play-by-play as he does it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2OTn3l4gNOYibc I appreciate you watching the channel my friend 🙏🙏🙏

[@TheIamfredrik]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 Yeah, this wash would work great for me when i have to drive with concrete in the hopper, but dont want all the water to spill out on the road!

[@willimcdonalds]

If there would be a way to completely wash trough the boom back into the drum this would be perfect. Companys like putz schwing they should figure something out the job would be 100% easier faster and cleaner.

[@willimcdonalds]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKWofnaMgN-hsJI Something like this i know this is a different machine but it would be nice.

[@romangavrilov930]

I've water washed into a mixer before. Not preferable, but I had to drive 2.5 hours to dump, so it was the best method.
