Picked up a hydraulic pump from Kipman a few weeks back. I finally got around to getting my WMO pump/filter rig put together. It still needs the oil water separator installed, but this thing works really great. I think Kipman has a pile of those pumps if anybody is going to put together a WMO rig give him a shout. A few pics for your enjoyment.

Nice setup!! Do you plan on using an electric motor instead of the drill? I would think the drill would burn up pretty quick. I'll have to get a pump from my bro next time I see him.
Actually, I had a 1/3 hp motor out of a heater blower and it was over heating. So, in a pinch I hooked up the old DeWalt 1/2inch drill and it doesnt even get warm. It will work for now until I can find maybe a 1/2 hp motor.

Special Ed, I mean Speddmon looked up the info. I think he found it as set at 7gpm. The pumps were setup as power steering pumps which is why its set low. I think you can change it to a higher gpm. We'll have to wait for Ed to chime in.
Not sure cost on the pumps, you will have to ask kipman. But the hardware was all bought at Homedepot and I got the filter elements at tractor supply. They are 10 Micron. I also plumbed in a bypass for the contaminated crap that comes out of the bottom of the barrel, and if you just want to use it as a transfer pump.

Go to the Harbor Freight website and click on closeouts. They have a 1/2 hp 115v motor for $15!!!
Kipman's WMO pump works great!!
