Hi..I thought I saw a post on here about adding secondary rear ballast pumps since mine take forever and was wondering where i could find the post since it's not listed in this section.

Has anyone figured out this problem or know where I can find this past post.

Thanks!

I am looking into speeding up the fill/empty process of my rear ballast as well. We mainly surf and usually ride with equal number of regular and goofy riders. I've been using my Tsunami portable pumps to speed up the process but I'm getting tired of kicking people off the sun deck to gain access. I was thinking about changing out to the Ronix eight.3 800lb sacs and 2 3700GPH pumps. The Ronix pump/bag set up is designed to put the pump into the bag to drain. I'll connect the drain hose to the opposing sac and essentially transfer the water from one side to the other. The fill rate is 514lbs/minute.

I think the thread was "cheap fix for slow PNP" but I can't remember exactly. I added tsunami pumps on the drain line from my 750's and wired them to run on with the regular drain pumps. It has made draining a breeze and hasn't affected filling at all. If you're interested in something like that I can give you the breakdown on how input it all together.

I did the same as tex5. Definitely drains the 750s a lil faster.

I think that thread is like 3 down from this one.....


Here's the thread on how I decreased the drain time on my rear sacks.
