Gizmo Engineering DX-55-Coarse-1/4 Drum Suction Pipe w/o Flowmeter

Features:

• Draws chemical from the bottom of your drum to eliminate pumping air.
• The rigid polypropylene pipe can be adjusted so it always reaches the bottom of your drum for perfect flow without pumps becoming air locked.
• Drums are pumped out nearly completely which will reducing wasted residual chemical.
• There is a built-in suction screen to keep particles/debris/crystals out of your pump. This screen is replaceable.
• Uses a 3/4" pipe which allows a larger foot-screen area at the bottom.

The Drum Suction Pipe, pickup tube, or draw tube, is the best way to extract chemicals from drums because they solve the problems with dangling a plastic flexible tubing into a drum. Often the tubing is inserted so it doesn't reach down to the liquid at the bottom of the drum, which results in the pump drawing air. Or the tubing loses it plasticizers over time and cracks, or curls up, which again causes the pump to draw air. Of course you get no warning when this happens.
