| Applies when | lime slurry, calcium hydroxide, ca(oh)2, crystallizing slurry |
|---|---|
| Avoid | multi-roller, valved, sealed (Pump) |
| Recommend instead | Graco SoloTech (Pump) |
| Rationale | Crystallizing/hardening slurry is a chemistry/mechanics mismatch, not an undersized-pump problem. Single-roller peristaltic hose pumps have no valves, seals, or glands in the fluid path for the chemical to crystallize in. |
| Confidence | confirmed |

This is a general engineering rule derived from real field/case-study evidence, not a substitute for a project-specific specification review — confirm against your exact process conditions before ordering equipment.
