Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the Ezi-action® Drumpumps better than any other hand pump?

Reliability, durability, safety, 24 month manufacturer’s warranty and full serviceability differentiate the Ezi-action® Drumpumps. You can be confident that Ezi-action® Drumpumps are supplied by a company that believes in giving the customer more than they expect.

Can the Ezi-action® Drumpump be serviced?

Ezi-action® Drumpumps are fully serviceable. This differentiates them from other hand drum pumps on the market. Servicing may never be required. But some chemicals can be harsher on the polyethylene components. Should pumping cease or fluid be visible on the plunger shaft the Ezi-action® Drumpump is easily serviced.

Are viton seals available?

Ezi-action® Drumpump seals are made from LDPE plastic which has excellent chemical resistance and are well proven.
We now offer the V Seal Pack. This pack includes the LDPE seals and a Viton O ring.
The addition of a Viton O ring placed above the LDPE seals on the plunger shaft can be beneficial when the Ezi-action® Drumpump is being used to pump large volumes. It can also be useful when there is an increase in back pressure because the pump is being used to pump fluids against gravity or when the fluids are very viscous.
When dispensing very strong acids (e.g. 83% nitric acid) and crop protection chemicals the addition of a viton O ring improves the longevity and performance of the Ezi-action® Drumpumps.OR-116 Brown Viton O rings can be bought locally or we can supply them with the V Seal Pack.
FDA Approved OR-116 Blue Viton O rings are also NOW available.
In Australia Dasco Ezi-action® Safety Pumps are NOW available with the addition of a FDA approved viton O ring.
In Australia to tolerate the heat extreme of the Cooper Basin ( 50C in the shade) a change to 3 viton Orings by a customer meant that the pumps could be used for dispensing 35% HCL.

How does the Ezi-action® Safety Measure bottle secure to the Drumpump?

The unique safety measure spout uses a bayonet fit to secure the one litre Ezi-action® Safety Measure bottle to the Ezi-action® Drumpump.

Can the siphon action of the Ezi-action® Drumpump be controlled?

Yes. If a long hose is fitted and siphoning is not desired this can be easily managed.
To break the siphon air needs to enter the hose, the hose needs to be crimped and/or the hose needs to be stored higher than the contents of the drum.
When the Ezi-action® Drumpump is not in use removal of the long hose or removal of the Ezi-action® Drumump from the drum will prevent unintentional siphoning.
For extra safety install an Ezi-action® Non-Siphon Check Valve in your hose.  This will prevent accidental siphoning as it permits air to enter the hose.
