I understand your problem with the oil pump for the EverClean. Is there standing oil in the EverClean before you turn it on? If so, I could see where you might have to heat that first in order to get it to function. Do you think that warming the oil in the saw box first before engaging the EverClean would be enough to allow the oil to thin and let the pump work with less strain? Or do you think that the EverClean unit itself would require heating? My EverClean will only be attached to a single 16” slab saw.
What pump are you replacing with?
Thanks for responding.
My issue is that the pump itself is the problem. There is always some oil in the hoses which is what is going to stay cold until it begins to run through the system for a while. But, if you can't start the oil to flowing, you can't get the rest of the system operating like it should. The unit itself will work at just about any temp so far as I can tel. The oil will probably clear up in the centrifuge quicker in warmer temps, but I suspect that as it heats up, it will get better and better. I don't, of course, think the system will work on the same level as the summer temps will allow, but as long as it is clearing the oil, I don't think I will care. I also have been contemplating using a heater for the saw, but last year, I just aimed the forced air heater at it and it worked for the time I was out in the garage. That is probably all I will do again.
I just ordered a pump from vervor that is rated for constant duty.It will screw right into my system already in place with no modifications needed. It remains to be seen if vervor stuff is going to be garbage or alright.
You're down here in the bilges with the wharf rats. You will get more mileage above on the upper decks.
