HEAVY 16 15/55/30 Gallon Pump

A Transfer Pump for Bulk HEAVY 16 Container Sizes

Ladling or tipping a 55 gallon drum to fill a smaller working container is slow and hard to do without spilling, especially once the drum is more than half full. HEAVY 16's transfer pump is sized for use with 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums, letting growers move liquid nutrient from a bulk container into a smaller jug or reservoir with less manual handling.

It's built specifically for the volumes associated with HEAVY 16's bulk container sizes, rather than a general-purpose pump sized for smaller jugs.

About HEAVY 16

HEAVY 16 was formulated by Bryce Patterson, a Cal Poly-trained horticulturist based in Signal Hill, California, around three principles: high-grade raw ingredients, complex chemistry that simplifies application, and micro-batch blending for consistency. Alongside its base nutrients and additives, HEAVY 16 also sells the container hardware — spigots, caps, wrenches, and a transfer pump — that growers need to draw from and open its bulk container sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What drum sizes is this pump compatible with?

This pump is designed for use with 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums, covering HEAVY 16's bulk container lineup. It is not intended for the smaller 32oz, 1 gallon, 2.5 gallon, or 6 gallon sizes.

How do I use this pump to transfer liquid?

Insert the pump into the drum opening and operate it to draw liquid nutrient into a smaller working container or reservoir. This avoids tipping or ladling directly from a large drum.

Does this pump reduce manual handling?

Yes, it's built to make transferring large volumes easier and cleaner than manual pouring or ladling from a drum. That's especially useful once a 55 gallon drum is too heavy to tip safely.

Can I use this pump with containers other than HEAVY 16 drums?

It's designed and sized around HEAVY 16's 15, 30, and 55 gallon bulk containers specifically. Compatibility with other brands' drums of the same size is not confirmed, so check your container's opening size before use.
