EPDM or PVC

[Cashflo]

Im wanting to get more hose for my monster pump.
Can't decide on which to get. PVC can be pretty stiff. Can be a real problem knocking over things with it. But its cheap
EPDM is a lot more flexible
But one chart I saw says EPDM inst very good for vegtible oil.

Found great price for both at Varco pumper supplies. Blows Grainger's $24/foot for 1 1/4 pvc out of the water. Hell its probably cheaper than Grainger is getting it for

I would like to get some rubber hose for my monster pump too. PVC is a pain to work with when its cold. I am interested in what you find.

I diid find some "Perfect hose" but im not paying $39 a foot and it only comes in 12 foot sections.
I think im going with the edpm. Varco had some cold water flexible pvc suction hose but they said vegi would eat it along with most oils.

how much is this epdm hose you are looking at and where are you getting it from?

varco pumper supplies. $1.32 / foot for 1 1/4 inch edpm

i wish i could find a way to stop the Monster's oil burp. Forgot about it picking up oil at a couple old ladys house that used vegi on there 2002 EX since 2003 and a motor home with a freightliner engine. Got about half gallon all over their drive way and i didnt have my purple power.

They were filtering it the OLD way. gavity filter through 3-12" sock style filters over a barrel.

They were some new age old ladys between 60-75. They were quitting because it was too hard to lift the cubbies. they had a electric zero turn mower and said it took 2 days to mow 2 acres.
One of them told me thay do sound healing. using music as medicine. Must be a lot of gullible people because they had 2 houses on the property and they were real nice houses in a even nicer neighborhood. House behind them was about a $1-2 million

Well ordered 50 ft of 1.25" edpm for $66 plus shipping.
Shipping calculator said $21.23, good price for 50 foot.
BUT i got a call 5 hours later saying there was a glitch in the calculator. Shipping would be an additional $18.22. what a That almost doubles the shipping. Shipping is more than half of the cost of the tubing.

still cheaper than everywhere else Ive found. just not nearly as good of a deal.

that sucks, i hate that. the worst are the sites that dont give you a shipping quote at all.

Well the only charged me $87.23. Butt they sent 1" not 1 1/4".
Called them up. They are sending the right hose out and since i was thinking of getting 1 inch later then I decided to keep it.
So im only paying shipping on the first one..
And its a LOT more flexible than PVC.
so I got 50 ft of 1" epdm and 50 ft of 1 1/4" with shipping for $152.24

I will take pictures when I get it of the bend radious between the pvc and edpm.

How is that edpm working out for you? I am using PVC hose on my monster pump now and since its been in the 30s and 40s for a few weeks that PVC hose is really annoying to work with. I am looking to replace it and also I am building a sucker tank and need some hose for that too.
