inject pump

HEATON

Any one tell me where to buy a pump, non electric , to inject fluids into a system. Can be small, maybe pint per stroke.

Do you have a small cordless drill? These drill motor pumps are about 6- 10 bucks at Box and Hardware stores.

A couple wash machine hoses and away you go.

I've seen guys use plant sprayers also, about 12- 25 bucks plus a hose fitting.

thanks, drill pump was not able to overcome the static press of system cold,3 floors of elevation, of 3.5 psi at the only point available to inject, which was at the boiler drain. Checked w/manufacturer & was informed that the pump was a "transfer pump" not capable of developing any pressure. I'll rig up a plant sprayer and try that. jh

I bought one of these from this guy. I offered him a bill.
IIRC it took a week to come in though. Don't know what your time frame needs are.
If you're near Philly you can borrow mine.

Appreciate, have to buy one. Hell of a tool for the price. Washington PA is my world
