Destroys Circulation Pumps - Excellent for Seed Germination
By George on 03/17/2024
The product is good. You just need a air pressure system where the product does not touch the pump or moving parts. Limestone is rock. Although finely ground in to dust, it is highly abrasive, like sandpaper. Used in backpack sprayer and immediately it ruined all the O-Rings and had to rebuild the backpack sprayer. Checked with my Tank Spray Pump company and they could not recommend the product even though the pump was a diaphragm style pump. the liquid rock would still go through the valves. Only pump I can think that will do the job is a hand pump two gallon or similar hand held tank. This is because it is a pressure tank. The pump is not subjected to the fluid in the tank due to one way check valve. Similarly in agriculture, the only safe method is a pressure tank system where the pump is not subjected to the fluid (liquid sand paper). The product is however outstanding and would buy again. Since the Lime is ground so fine, it is fast acting and aid in the germination of crop seed/grass seed, etc. Long term sustained PH is best controlled by pelletized lime, but this liquid product is best for grass seed germination rates, etc.
