Recovery Pumps


What type of recovery pump are you using?
I still have the Promax RG5410A. It’s more than adequate for what I need, but I can see that the design is getting dated compared to other units out there.

Whenever I start thinking about how I wish it were just a little smaller and lighter, I begin reminiscing about my old Pinnacle recovery unit that weighed like 42 pounds and had to have the oil changed regularly... then I say to myself... gee, this thing really isn’t so bad after all.

Re: Recovery Pumps


The Promax I used when I was a contractor finally bit the dust with my son using it about three years ago. I now sell the Appion's and my contractors seem to really like it.
