Will an air-diaphragm type pump pump foam? Note that it is a very heavily water ladden foam.

If the suction is flooded and the pressures low, then it will be pumped with little reduction of it's integrity, if the suction is not flooded the pump will pull the air from the foam leaving just a slurry.. Hope this helps :o)
