Ghost Pumps

[font=comic sans ms][size=12pt]I was down at the West Pass this afternoon and there wasn’t much going on, but a guy had some nice looking Ghost Pumps for sale @ $40 each. He didn’t have a card so I took a couple pics. His contact info is in the second pic.

looks like he shops at J&M, by the bucket in the truck....he can't be all bad :poke1: he should join and post in the for sale section

they have them at Ace Hardware in Gulf Shores too

If you have any abilities at all with tools you can build one for about $10. Buying full sticks of PVC is cheaper and you get just enough material for 3. So, two for you and one for a buddy for the price of one at retail.

Oh I would never buy one....I enjoy making things too much, plus I am very cheap (thrifty) !!! [img width=19 height=25]http://i45.tinypic.com/m8i3w9.gif[/img]

[font=comic sans ms][size=12pt]”william” joined the forum last night, so if you want to buy one, hit him up here.
I would rather buy from a forum friend or J&M than buy from Ace.

Would like to say it's because I'm thrifty but I too love making and building. I have to always have a project of some sort going on. Today it is re-attaching a wheel on the garbage can that popped off. Can't find an axle cap so I guess I'll have to drill it and cotter pin it.

Although I do have to admit that the ones I make are Buicks compared to his Cadillacs

guess that makes SWG the pivot man

pfft... minds in the gutter do tend to run off the road. ::)

Back on topic, I wunder why the long projection off to the side?
Is it just a 'billboard'?
Seems like it adds a good bit of weight :-\ just sayin...

The 2nd one I built was with Schedule 40 which is about 25% lighter than the Sched 40.
That does make a difference in how long I can keep pumping during each session.
??? ummm :-X :-[

:o
[size=4pt]Uhh huh. I know what yer 'dirty mind' is thinkin![/size] ;) :D

Agreed. Mine is pretty much an exact copy of the one PNG has pinned on the DIY board with exception of end caps added to the handle. My lower back gives out from the bending long before the arms and shoulders. And of course we all know that long pumping stamina is the key to continued success. :poke1:

As to the side projection, maybe it's some sort of backflow chamber that increases the depth of the vacuum created on the back stroke. :-\

looks like a hand hold to me.....something to pull against with your free hand when using(push pull action)..... instead of gripping the main tube ???? just a thought....but kinds large for that ;)

I planned to make mine with a short handle but no end cap.
I thought it would be an easy way to flush it out to rinse it .
You should not need any back pressure.
Wouldn't all the "sucking" you need come from the test plug when you pull and nothing needed when you push back?

The one I bought @ J&M had the top cap just wedged in the tube (NOT glued).
That makes cleaning MUCH easier :headbang:

The one I bought @ J&M had the top cap wedged tight in the tube (NOT glued).

I like the idea of not glueing the top on (I am not sure any parts really need to be glued if they fit tight)
All the ones that glue on the top cap are so permanent you can't even replace anything inside if needed
The handle I am using is also splits to 1 1/2 inches for a smaller grip to hold on to
Like Fin said - I enjoy making this type of stuff more than just buying it
Nice indoor project on days like today when it is 7 degrees here in Chicago

Any of the outside parts
I know the inner sucker tubes have to be glued
