From my limited knowledge, there have been a few makes of pump fitted to the Braumisters, typically a blue one or a black one.

The Blue ones are Vortex BW152 oT and the Black ones, are something like an Ecocirc E3. The Ecocirc pumps have a variable setting but looking at the Braumister instructions, there's a flyer in there, advising to fix this at the max setting.

Finally, whilst you may be able to get the same make/rev pump, it's my understanding that the impellor is specific to Braumister, as it's designed to be used in an environment, where it may come into contact with grain/hulls etc but I haven't seen a picture of the two impellors side by side, so this could be hearsay/rumour, by the same token, if you've seen the build quality of these things, then it wouldn't surprise anyone that they may buy an off the shelf pump and have their own specific impellor fitted.

And as you may know already, the 10l and 20l are fitted with one pump and the 50l with two pumps.

I have the new 50 litre and its fitted with two Lowara branded pumps. They have Speidel in the model name so I suspect they're made to spec.
