How to Pump Manure Pit Slurry
One of the questions we most frequently here from farmers and ranchers is how to pump cow, sheep, hog or horse manure from one area of their farm to another using the right pumping equipment. Most of the time, manure based slurries contain solids content ranging from 5% -15% solids. If your application is on the lower end of this range, Mud Sucker FA Series are commonly used on farms to transfer slurry based or wet liquids to dry manure piles that absorb moisture. These two inch or three inch pumps can pump from 25-80 US GPM and can discharge from 300-500 feet on level land; we can help you determine the suction and discharge loss when pumping on inclines
Larger farms and ranches with hundreds of cattle, or those with higher solids content, have selected the Mud Sucker B Series Professional with a ball valve system to aid in crushing solids and create a uniform manure slurry for more efficient pumping. These pumps are available in electric, gas and diesel models with either a th
Fueling Vehicles With Waste Vegetable Oil
Oil prices are on the rise again leading businesses and consumers to search for economical and environmentally friendly alternatives to fueling vehicles, homes and businesses. More and more of our customers are looking for pump package solutions to feed waste vegetable oil from grease traps and holding tanks to power vehicles and homes. Pumps help to filter waste vegetable oil such as restaurant waste trap grease so that these fluids can be used as fuel.
One of our customers is a school bus operator in Lee County, Florida and is experimenting with fueling a portion of their school bus fleet with waste vegetable oil. The challenge is how to create a pumping system with limited space and budget constraints. Our pump design engineers are in the final stages of creating a rear bumper mounted system using our Mud-Sucker FA Series pumps to assist in pumping purified waste vegetable oil to a holding tank located beneath the bus. Using an in-line piping design, we have reduced the amount of space needed while preserving the pumping power of the Mud Sucker brand pumps. This test project is one more step forward for Lee County’s environmental initiatives and a testimony to the Mud-Sucker’s versatility.

What is a Penn Valley Pump (PVP)?
The Penn Valley pump is a diaphragm pump. PVP has fully acknowledged this in their patent # US 7,559,753 B2. The patent references George Burrage’s (a family member of PVP President) patent application # GB 2013287A as the basis of construction for the PVP pump. Nowhere in GB 2013287A does it reference a disc at all. This legal document fully acknowledges the fact that the Penn Valley pump is a diaphragm pump. PVP also references the use of diaphragms in all of their trademark registrations.
What is The Difference Between Penn Valley (PVP) and Sludge Pro Pumps?
Sludge Pro double disc pumps are available with either a clack valve or a ball valve configuration. The operator selects one or the other. As of 2017, Pe
Mobile Pumping Solutions
With the official start of camping and boating season right at our door many campgrounds and marinas are considering their septic pumping services for the new season. A common problem at small to mid size campgrounds and marinas is that septic tank trucks have a difficult time maneuvering in tight spaces and of course, there is always the cost and scheduling issues.
Honey Wagon Manufacturer
One solution to this problem is the new 100 gallon Wastecorp Mud Sucker honey wagon. The MS-100 can connect to most utility vehicles or ATV’s for easy transportation to trailers, RV’s and even boats. But the best feature of this pumping system is that the three way valve system allows you to use the pump to both pump waste in and out of the tank. You don’t have to mess with the discharge valve (although the MS-100 has one as a back-up) you simply turn the valve and pump out to an approved dump station. This package also includes everything you need including the high grade crush
New Manual Grout Pump Packages
As a new season approaches, contractors and public works crews will be busy with traffic divider grouting, mud jacking and all sorts of commercial grout pumping applications. If you’re looking for a professional manual grout pump where a full size grout rigger cannot reach we now offer two new packages that are suited for your specific grout pump application
Package 1 includes our standard Sludge Sucker professional grout pump mounted on a pedestal for heavy duty grouting jobs. This package includes a 14 qt. hopper funnel and the new grout injector tool that attaches to the heavy duty crush proof hosing.

Grout Pump Options
Grout pumps are one of those tools that are always in need on residential and commercial construction sites but are not readily available at equipment rental shops or Home Depot or Lowes (Not the the professional grade grout pumps anyway). You should be aware that a lot has changed in the world of grout pumps and the availability of them for contractors, do it yourselfers and construction professionals.
First, the grout pumps we are talking about are manual grout pumps or grout pumps operated by hand and air operated grout pumps, grout pumps operated by compressors with air hose lines. Second, we are talking about non-epoxy type generally grout used in the construction industry and grout that flows.
Manual Grout Pumps
The Sludge Sucker Pro Series is a type of grout pump with a handle and lever system. The operator simply places grout in the hopper funnel and pumps the grout into place with a grout wand and hose. This is a redesigned manual di
Grout Pumps for Commercial and Residential Applications
As the weather improves for commercial grouting jobs it gives us an opportunity to address contractor concerns. One of the comments we heard from contractors who work with grouting jobs before the Sludge Sucker grout pump was made available, is that there was a lack of dependable, compact grout pumps that could easily be moved to job sites with tight spaces. Wastecorp went to work and designed/engineered the Sludge Sucker Professional Grout Pump. Now, this has not been featured on Shark Tank (yet) but we have been thinking about it due to its positive response from construction professionals. Since then, the Sludge Sucker has become a staple for commercial contractors and public works crews to grout door frames, pilings, slab jacking, void filling, mud jacking and many other commercial grouting applications.
New Grout Pump Crank Arm
