@@minovationThat's awesome! Have you compared the replacement seal vs hard leather Bohumir uses? I believe he used two layers. Planning on building one but I wish I had your welding skills and/or machinist friends 😅
It depends on the volume of water you are trying to pump... 2-1/2 fittings are much more $$ expensive than 2 inch... you could make the outlet 1 inch and reduce the brass check valve to 1-1/4, but then you would need 1-1/4 drive pipe and 5/8 delivery pipe... this will make a 1-1/4 pump and I have here 1-1/2 pump. :) I'm using tire rubber now and it has no problems at all... it's the silicone stuff that is not good on impact application.
Thank you about your trick valve waste.
Hi, can you make a list of the parts needed to make the check valve? Great video!
This video covers the build and all the parts. th-cam.com/video/hZfrjkjstzE/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Did your waste valve design happened to be inspired by/ from Bohumir Stehlik? Appreciate the insight🤝🏼
yes

Hello friend, how long has the valve been in use?
since i've uploaded the video... so far so good. :)
1 1/4" outlet is big for 2x1 1/4 bushing reducer. It is better 2 1/2x 1 1/4 bushing reducer, rubber or disc will last longer.
