Finish Thompson CT309 CT309 Polypropylene Pump 115 V
This is the Finish Thompson CT drum pump, constructed in polypropylene. It is supplied complete with its motor and ready to put to work. It is supplied as a complete unit with its 115 volt motor, in a polypropylene wetted construction suited to acids, caustics and general chemical duty.
A drum pump earns its keep by removing the tip and pour from the job. These are sealless tube pumps, so there is no shaft seal to weep down the outside of the drum, and the bearings are lubricated by the fluid itself. Flushing after use is the single most useful habit, because a pump left full of product is a pump that seizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the pump tube length need to match the container?
Yes. The tube should reach close to the bottom of the drum or tote without bottoming out, which is what the length in the model number refers to.
Q: Can the pump be left standing in the drum between uses?
Only if the wetted materials suit the fluid for long contact. Otherwise it should be flushed and drained, since standing exposure is harder on a pump than pumping is.
Q: What happens if the pump is run dry?
The bearings are lubricated by the fluid being pumped, so dry running wears them quickly and can seize the shaft.
Q: Does the pump need a bung adapter?
It does if the container is to hold the pump upright, and the adapter also limits fumes escaping around the tube.
