3000LMT Water Purification Unit

[bevanet]

I just bought 3 of these 3000LMT Water Purification Units. From the little information on GL's website, they have a 5.8 horse diesel engine, a DE filter, and clorinator. They can purify 3000 gallons an hour.

I wanted to use one to clean water from my pond so that I can used it to wash equipment etc with a pressure washer. I was also wondering if it would be clean enough for showers etc. Does anyone know more about these like how clean the water is, or if there is a manual somewhere? Has anyone used one before?

I really only wanted one but didn't want to fall into the trap of everyone bidding on the last one available. I ended up with three. I might be interested in selling one or two.

I looked at the classified section many times to figure out how to post and ad, but finally found out you now need 100 posts before you can post an ad. I'm about halfway there .

I got one of the pumps running pretty easily. I need to fiddle with the other two some more. These are the first every 1 cylinder diesels that I have messed with. The engines are Farymann from germany. I found a place that sells parts, and a users manual for the whole lmt3000 unit.

Where did you find the user manual for the LMT3000? Is it a user manual or TM? Thanks for the help in advance

I would find it hard to believe that the military would buy "water purification units" that weren't capable of making water pure enough to drink. I'm sure if the units are in good working order, that the water coming out of them should be 100% good for your use.

I don't remember where I found it, but I have a copy on my computer. If you PM your email address I can sent it to you. It is a user's manual. I still have a couple of these that I would like to sell!

Dont run a water pump dry. You will destroy the pump.

So why doesn't someone just post the TM here in the TM forum?

The company goodman ball is out of business and the company that bought their generators didn't take the purification unit..

If anyone has a hard copy, I've got access to high-speed single pass duplex scanners (I own Radionerds.com) and will scan and return it...

In the meantime I found these.. which isn't much.. (these are of the civilian version)

Another tidbit... some newscasts about the 3000LMT

 

[ke6rwj]

I used the way back machine to get much of this info and also emailed the existing sales@goodmanball.com email address and got a response from the company that got the generator tech. They said they had no information to offer.

Here are the manuals for the Diesel engine...

Here is a picture of the manual from an old ebay listing.. incidently I tried to contact the owner of the ebay ad to see if they would make a copy and they stated they no longer had the unit..

So write to GBI.

So write to GBI.

As noted above they are out-of business but I did find the email to sales@ on way back. The new company responded they didn't have anything...

I submitted a FOIA request to the marine corps for the manuals. they can take some time, but do respond eventually.
