Re: Agitator pump bit broken

I've fitted the pump, a small aquarium pump for about 30€. It works perfectly. Absolutely silent too. I can't see why this shouldn't work just as well as the original pump.

Re: Agitator pump bit broken

Now fit a small pump anywhere in the cooling circuit (doesn't have to be in the cooler). I'm looking at a similar setup ... the pumps in those coolers are pathetic! I've actually just ordered a small aquarium pump that will fit between the coils inside the water bath. I don't see any reason why thi...

My chiller wasn't sending the cold water to the cooling jacket on my handpump so I took the pump apart and found this...Image
Has anyone got a spare or know where I could get one?

Blimey! I don't think I've ever seen a beer that weak, let alone tasted one.

Re: Cornelius Maxi 110 not getting cold

The impeller can be switched off on many models, so it's not necessary to run it for the cooler to work.

Re: Harry Mason beer engine disassembly

Thanks for the video Trefoyl. It doesn't show how he got the top and bottom off unfortunately, but they obviously just push-on. I'll be careful!

Re: Harry Mason beer engine disassembly

Harry Mason beer engine disassembly

Has anyone taken one apart to fix it? I have a couple, one of which has the tendency to get stuck somehow, so I want to take it apart to have a look. I've got the cylinder out from the body of the pump, but I can't see how to actually get inside it. Does anyone know how? I think it's an 'Aston' mode...

Re: Keykegs

Use a collapsible 'bag-in-box' with a hand-pump. No need for an aspirator/breather.

I can't get to look at it for at least a couple of days. I'll report back when I have. Thanks for your suggestions all of you.
