Flatfloor, Jimmy "da Leveler" Buckley sent me a couple pics of an slc pour. He did some writing on the backs, but I'll let him explain here. The pics were not high-quality. I've tried to enhance them somewhat, but hey. ;)

Beautiful colors on that floor don't you all agree? Rivals anything else I've seen around here, notice the subtle differences in the gray. :D

That pump is a nice little piece of works. It can pump SLC 80'-90' vertically and then run about 200' horizontally. It can pump 1 bag per minute so you can easily resurface 10,000 SF @ 1/4" in a day.

That pump looks a little small from the ones I seen..maybe it is my memory failing but I did take me awhile to droll all over it so it must have been a tad bigger version.

p.s. nice Ardex mixing bucket you got there Jim...hehehe

That job smells like money.

I was hoping no one would notice that. Figures you would :) That is not mine belongs to the contractor.

Maybe your thinking of a gypcrete pump. If you saw an Ardex pump they are even smaller. Course they can't compete with that one for power.

John You did good!

No I am thinking of a SLC pump. But maybe that is the same pump after all..the cost of the ones I seen were about 10,000. ...sound about right?

Maybe used. The one you see is a Chemgrout 550CG can be air propane or electrically powered about $15-16,000 new.
