The legitimate calcium pumps for loading and emptying tractor tires cost $1000. Local dealer does not want to deal with calcium as he is strictly a Rim Guard enterprise. I just want to reuse the calcium in the tires I have to replace and was wondering if anyone used a cheap utility pump that actually worked with this briny solution.

. But I just dont see a small utility pump lasting long.

I don't need it to last long LD. I just want to do the 2 rears. I never want to see the inside of these rims again so I am looking for an economical alternative. This stuff can get heavy so there may be no such thing as a "cheap" pump to push calcium.

You can buy a little drill pump and use it have done that before spray a bit of oil in when you are done it may even work again if you do that.
