Those little Flojet quad pumps actually come with a warning not to use them with any products that have a flash point below 100 °F. Here's a link to the documentation.

An old Flojet rep told me people used to try and use those electric quad pumps for moving marine fuel. It didn't end well for someone, and now they plaster warnings all over the documentation to prevent anyone from trying to use it to move flammable liquids.

The pump you're looking for is the Flojet G70, which can be grounded, and is rated for use with more volatile substances when used as directed in the documentation.

As far as sizing the air compressor, these pumps don't take much to run. With air diaphragm pumps the most important factor to sizing the compressor is the CFM (cubic feet/minute) of air the compressor is capable of generating. The G70 only requires about 3 CFM. A cheap compressor like the kind you can pick up at your local tool store for $100-$200 is capable of this. Sometimes people even use tanks of compressed gas.

The compressor will almost certainly be much, much louder than the pump itself.

What's the pump on the Mori gravity filler?

The OP wrote a nonsensical post in a professional forum.  If he's just trying to do business, he is very bad at it.

I'm going to look for a house, I think I will post on a real estate broker forum.  "I'm looking for a large house in the United States.  I've looked at Edinburgh Castle, but did not check enough boxes.  Any ideas? "

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it must be a scam.

like this? https://www.lowes.ca/water-filtration/rainfresh-ess1-stainless-steel-10-in-water-filter-housing_g2398839.html

In canada nothing is everywhere unfortunately =/

yes.  looks like a standard double open ended filter housing.

Dude get a stainless housing.  They're all over the place.  Don't remember where I got mine.  But I'm going to get a new one anyway because I'm tired of dismantling it to unscrew the top.  One that uses triclamps or wingnut things is better for me.

Yes the tube.  Anton Paar did the work.  I guess I'm just more likeable ?

SOLD

Since you've sold yours, I will hijack your thread.

I have an Anton-Paar DMA 35N, purchased in October 2012.

Also available for $1100.  Comes with case.  Easy to use, digital instruction manual available.

I sent it in for service/recalibration including new keyboard and glass cylinder in December 2016, which cost $322.

SOLD

connect a 10" cartridge filter housing between the pump and holding tank on the filler.  Put a sub micron filter in and you're done.

Just received two of these after waiting much too long to finally order.  These are well done and solid. 

I knew it wasn't, but I do wish the lid was more sealing, to allow leaving spirits in if not able to dump immediately.  But they are called transfer barrels for a reason I guess.  If anyone has modified for containment, what did you do?

fyi if you are shipping to Hawaii add 25% paradise tax.

And Andrew just told me he will send the newly included butterfly valves so I don't keep spilling liquor all over the floor.

Control states will publish their sales figures.  Public corporations will publish their sales figures.  Your op inquired about a database for calendar sales for each licensed distillery.  That is incredibly intrusive, and should be obvious that most privately owned distilleries, like most privately owned businesses, do not publish their annual sales volume.  Unless I'm completely missing something and every distillery on this forum would like to step up and post their annual case sales right here.

Seriously?  That's the most intrusive request I've ever heard.

Well now I just got an auto email reply that Aaaron Linden is no longer an employee of HUB International.  What's up AAron?

I hope you figure this out, I want to have a blue vodka too.

Love alcodens, use it every day, can’t wait to use LQ.  Indispensable. 

The best thing to come out of this forum.

SO WTF ADI, YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS SHAM MANUFACTURER TO INJURE AND ENDANGER PEOPLE?

Yeah I'm yelling at you.  Get off you f'n ass and fix it. 

Anyone able to get a 0.01% accuracy reading their hydrometers?  And your simultaneous thermometer reading?

just asking because these ttb rules are ridiculous.  YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME.  oh wait, you are.

I use shipstation.  It connects online shopping cart and fedex to print labels for orders.  It is only shipping software I believe, not point of sale.

I'm looking for an all-in-one solution that will be my pos in tasting room, and let me ship any tasting room transaction.

Let me be clear, I'm not asking for advice on how to ship my products.  I already do that and have for years.

I'm asking for any recommendations for a pos system that can handle both in store sales and in store sales with a shipping option.

Anyone have experience with a tasting room pos system that allows for shipping the products for the customer?

i.e. guy buys 3 bottles o' booze and wants them shipped to his home address because he is on vacation.

Currently I have to enter the order on my tablet computer where I have my website open (I sell online).  This is less than ideal because it bypasses my clover pos system.  Also it's time consuming.  So I'm operating two ordering systems at once.  Currently have occasional requests for the shipping, but I can see it increasing.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS!

You are all fools with this distilling silliness.  WINE COOLERS.  You are preaching to the choir, brother.  I'm cooling my wine as I type, I'M GOING TO BE RICH!!1!

AlcoDens LQ is amazing.

put some sunblock on that thin skin

So I, like many others, no longer need a distilled spirits bond because of the new lower tax rate.  All the instructions for ttb bond removal I've been able to find only address step by step instructions for online applications.  My original DSP application was paper, so it seems I need to submit a paper form for bond removal.  But which form?  I've been calling and leaving messages at TTB for a month, absolutely no response.  

Anyone...?

Anyone using or used http://libdib.com?

Curious as to your experience.

This tax change also affects your bond requirements. No bond required if you're paying less than $50,000 in alcohol tax.  So at the new rate that equals about 811 cases monthly of 80-proof spirit.
