Why Do I Need to ” Prime” the Pump?

Concrete pump primer is one of the cheapest insurances and this is why. When concrete is first pumped into the hoses, it will loose water in the process. This water would be absorbed by the dried hoses, causing concrete to loose its pump ability, so YES, you DO need to prime your system.

Say you start pumping 200 feet with a 6″ slump, at the end of 200 feet, you might end up with a 4″ to 3″ slump depending on the heat and conditions of the concrete, giving you as a result a higher chance of plugging your lines up. So It’s important to lubricate the walls of your system, you can do this with a concrete pump primer, Portland cement or just water.

Which is better?

Portland cement: Its a great way to lubricate your hoses, however is not as friendly to handle, and the breathing of the cement as you break the bag, is not good for your health

Water: It’s the world’s strongest dissolvant and in some cases it works great, but its liquid form will not allow hoses to be completely coated, since it will mainly run on the bottom portion of them.

Concrete pump primer: this product is designed to solve the problems above. First is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, easy to use in small convenient 4 oz. bags, it becomes like a jelly that coats completely the walls of your hoses or pipes.

This product allows concrete to flow with ease, avoiding damage to your equipment or delays caused by having to unplug lines.

Slick willie 2 is Americas favorite concrete pump primer, this industry leader combines speed and performance like no other primer before, the primer formula is packaged in compact 4oz. bags, making storage and transportation simple. Slick Willie 2 is safe for the environment and great for your pump and hoses.

Concrete pump primers are extremely important for your concrete pump. It ensures that the concrete being pumped, can make it easily through the hoses when you first start pumping.  This biodegradable material will ensure the longevity of your hoses and the ease of use on your concrete pump.

Basically, you apply the concrete pump primer first and you start pumping it into your hoses, and then you pour the concrete into the hopper and pump it down, having the concrete pump primer in front of the concrete material.
