How to prevent foam in the tank of Finn Farm Equipment?
- L
  Lynn Ramos MDAug 19, 2025
  To address foam in the tank and air entrainment in your Finn Farm Equipment, take these steps: * Reduce the agitator speed as the slurry level decreases. * Introduce 2 to 3 oz (6 to 9 cl) of an antifoaming agent into the tank. * If possible, identify and either add the problematic additive last or avoid it altogether (unless it’s the water). * Minimize recirculation time. * Open the pump suction bleed valve to release trapped air, and close it once the air is gone.

Why Finn Farm Equipment pump will not turn?

  Mrs. Alexis Yates DVMAug 21, 2025
  If your Finn Farm Equipment pump won't turn, it could be due to a few reasons: * The pump might be frozen. In this case, warm the housing to melt the ice. * It could be jammed with fertilizer or lime. If so, remove the cover and clean the interior. * The impeller might be rusted to the suction cover plate. If this is the case, pull the cover and remove the rust.
