Thank you for the video. I just bought a very old DeepRock drilling tool but I’m looking at a local trash pump and it claims to move maximum 1” solids at 36 PSI so I’m wondering if it’s sufficient? Thank you!
Gary, the red lion pump does not quite have the power to move the drilling clay that is drilled up, let me explain.... i had been trying to do a video on this, however life gets in the way of anything. a column of water is pi R ^ (pi time radius square), multiplied times the column depth in inches by .433. then you have to add the weight of the mud in the water. the red lion pump does okay with light weight mud in the drilling fluid, but my samples were showing from 40% to 60% mud in the water. you can calculate the head, but determining the new weight per cubic inch of water and mud, by using a graduated cup, like a cooking cup and the cubic inches inside a 90 foot head, would be a once inch column of water, 90 feet high (using the formula above) without gross mud levels. the red lion works just fine, but i had to change out the drilling fluid ever 2 sections. you should have 5 foot stems, and i'm not sure what you need to lubricate the old school rubber swivel. let me know how it goes or if you need more info
