Does anyone use waterpump to feed worm casting teas????

I have a grow res and a Bloom res, both are 55 gallon drums that I keep about 30 gallons of aerated water in pretty much at all times.

About once a month Id like to feed using brewed teas with molasses and other ingredients to include worm castings. I water with 15 foot of 3/4 hose and Ive destroyed a few cheap water pumps I had lying around, no biggie I knew this would happen.

Aside from ruining the pumps I really like the ease of watering this way. I'm sure I'm not the only lazy guy watering this way, what water pumps, is any will hold up to this lazy efficient method? My other option is churning with watering pitcher and watering manually which sucks. I'm lazy ish

I could be completely off here, but it sounds like a bigger pump that can be turned down might work a little better.
Sounds like your mixture gets pretty thick and small impellers cant usually handle a viscous mixture very well.
I would get something that breaks down super easy so you can clean it out regularly.

Yes sir, I'm hoping someone has a similiar setup. I know pumps can get pricey I may just wanna get over the lazy and hand water or ease back into hydro although I'm liking soil grows so far.

Make it work > get over being lazy.
Lazy crew for life!
I'm 100% sure that theres some kind of pump that'll work for you, but yeah it may be a bit of an investment. Theres a special type that should work great for this, but for the life of me I cant remember what it's called.
I hope someone can give you a little more specific advice on what kind, I wish you luck with your search.
