Using air to clean out our system. Pumping concrete with Muddyfeet Concrete Pumping.

Nice setup you have there. I miss pumping at times, I ran pump for 12 years before I finally called it quits. Never ran a schwing, only putz line and boom. I always did reverse cleanout. Put sponge in other end of hose, leave hose connected to pump. Air on and pump in reverse slowly. Feel for cleanout sponge when down to last hose stop pump and release air. Use last hose to pump hopper into truck with a hook. Putz hopper would hold 175-200' if pumped down. Just another option... nice pumps you have, I really enjoy the videos

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Travis B Thanks so much. Yes I reverse pump back also. I actually prefer it because it’s safer. It just depends on the situation. About 125’ of hose worth of concrete is about all this hopper will hold. Thanks for watching!

[@rcppop3090]

That’s exactly how I do it on a line pump. My Putz tk50 & tk70 can suck back 200’ of 3” line and 300’ of 2.5” line depending on how far down I pump the hopper before I start my washout.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Rcp 916 Wow. I’ve never been able to suck back more than 150’. That would be convenient to be able to do 200’ even though my hopper want hold more than 125’ Worth. Thanks for the comments and views. If y’all like outdoor type stuff look up MuddyfeetTV. And follow us over there. Thanks

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Roger C Williams will try that. Thanks for watching!

[@carlsimons1688]

What pressure is the compressed air needed to shift the concrete in the pipe?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

It doesn’t take much. Depending on how much hose you hand out 20-40 psi is all you need

[@rickhenderson3671]

Why such a big hose I only used two and a half or two in for Pedro travel

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Most our customers order 3/4” rock. And most of the concrete company’s here use man sand. It takes 3” hose to get it pumped through. On most occasions.

I always wash out 50ft hose w water back into the truck, was wondering if how u clean would work with our pumps the same way..

[@timtilling5344]

Why 3 in those on every pour? Also how do you not run your own hose? Guess you having spoiled them in Texas yet!! Great videos .. Retired pumper here so I understand it all..

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

3” is the only size I prefer. Here in Texas anything smaller would require an over sandy pea gravel mix. Not all companies carry that. Pool decks and patios is my main customers and most of them don’t like the 4” because of the weight of it. And yes it’s up to the customer to place the concrete. We are spoiled. Lol

Interesting, how can I buy a tee shirt and a hoodie? If you sell them? Hope you keep the channel going, I am a fan...

Tim Tilling currently working on a website. When it’s up and going I’ll post it on Instagram and on the videos. Keep checking back. Thanks. Where did you pump concrete?

[@timtilling5344]

Thank you, I pumped for 26 years in San Francisco,Marin area in California. I loved it...

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Tim Tilling I bet you have some good stories! Maybe one day I’ll get to hear some of them. I would like to start a podcast some days that features guys like you.

How’d you clean your hopper out

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Rinse out with water

[@josephwebster9817]

Seems like things go quicker when it time to pack up and get out of there.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Yep

[@kris666ftw]

Doesn’t your pump have reverse

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

kris666ftw yes we do. How come you ask?

[@mitchelldexter4917]

Kinda had to fit all that mud back into that small hopper bud

Any advice for a person that want to invest in one of this machines? Running this business pros and cons?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Honestly I wouldn’t know where to start. Begin with good equipment and good work ethics.

[@eddiem384]

@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping thank you. Is the money in return worth the investment of a little over 100k? I'm looking to buy all new just because the fear of previous person not taking care of equipment. How many jobs per day do you normally do?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

We probably averaged 8 a week. It does decent once you get established.

I started from scratch. So it can be done.

[@josephwebster9817]

Using air to clean the hose is not an exact science . More like a controlled collision. Let hope the guy holding the hose at the wheel barrow doesn't panic and spray the householder's brick and windows.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Yes you really have to pay attention
